That's the stupidest idea I've ever heard.
Adam curry, John C. Dvorak.
That's Thursday, December 15 2011 time you're getting my
nation media assassination episode 365.
This is no agenda on
bully patrol here at Camp MoPhO in Austin, Texas, the capital of
the Lone Star State in the morning, everybody. I'm Adam
curry
and from Northern Silicon Valley where I'm eating a red fleshed
pump. Hello, I'm John C. Dvorak. Vaughn Buzzkill. And there it
is, again, there it
is the illustrious stinger.
You so in the morning, do you Adam curry and all ships and sea
and boots on the ground and feet in the air? Oh, well,
do I ever get to st in the morning to the bakers in the
kitchens? Yeah, never
done that.
Now we have done that into the in the morning to all of the
drone pilots in the bunkers, in the, in the containers flying
around at 18,000 feet above New York. And of course to all of
the human resources in the chat room. No agenda stream.com No
AGENDA chat.net We do the show twice a week and we do it live.
Why don't we do it live? Actually we do it because makes
us feel relevant to you like it? Yeah, exactly. And it's live to
tape, which means there's no editing ever.
It can dump it out, you know if we bring it up?
Production note there from John C. Dvorak. Yes. It's good to see
we have a quorum in the chat room. That's always nice. And of
course, most people listening to this on the podcast, a fine
distribution mechanism while it still lasts is today the SOPA
vote.
Well, according to dare I say he says it's not passing unless it
makes a major changes. I don't think so. I don't think it's
gonna pass at all. Well, I never thought it was going to pass
when I once I saw they had done a pretty decent job of rallying
the troops. I have a friend of mine he's one of the PR agents
behind the rallying the troops
are really the which the the good guys or the bad guys? Bad
guys. And who are the good guys in this case?
Anybody that's votes? No.
CNN has been running commercials nonstop for soap. Have you
noticed that? Now you don't watch CNN?
Well, I'm I was what is my assignment?
Your Well, we have different assignments. I think we both
watched a lot of C span this week. I can see because I see
identical clips. It's a shame. Yeah, mainly from the NRC
hearings, which was just hilarious. Well, I
cut mine way down. So I recommend micro USB. I do have
an end of show clip. And I've decided to come up with a new
idea.
Well, you know, we got we do have an endo show clip from
Maynard interviewing Sir Thomas. And when
we show clip and then run Maynard, double shot, double
shot. So I heard the matrix clip. It's quite good. It's
excellent. So so I've got like three short, tight clips with
some explanation that does it like a teaser for the end of
show clip to keep people listening to the whole show.
So okay, it's funny, because I have three NRC clips. This is
the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. It was the long was
like six hours worth of C span this week.
And let's start off by making sure that everyone knows this is
a huge distraction of the week. Oh, but hilarious.
Let me just make sure we
look over here, nothing to see. Look,
they're actually saying it. They're actually saying this in
the hearing itself. Like, oh, the press is all here. This is a
distraction. This was like, wow. But if you had to write this, I
know you can't write it any better. The actors are great.
This guy jadco By the way, if you if you look at his name, JC
ZK Oh, it looks like jack off. I don't know, I keep thinking jack
off jerk off.
Well, he's apparently was a regular member of the new the
NRC. And then they promoted him to Chairman and I guess he's one
of those guys. And I've seen this happen and other people
have actually worked for a living. I've seen it happen
where you have a guy with a normal guy and then he gets the
he gets he gets the job where he can lord it over people and
becomes a first class a whole with no skills. And you could
just see this as a Steve Jobs kind of character who likes to
yell at people so
funny. You say that because what I was going to say about this
whole thing is when Steve Jobs bullies people and as an aihole,
he's a genius. Yeah, but when when some guy in the in the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission bullies people bullying,
remember, this is bullying and these are adults being bullied,
then then we have to we have to write a letter to the
president's office because we're being bullied
and they had to have a whole congressional hearing was really
early.
Alright, what do you got? I might have different I also cut
my clips down, but maybe we have different things. It's just
funny.
Well, I have been kind of in awe So it starts off with I think
the kick the kicker and this guy by the people have to imagine
what we're looking at here to Jack Jack off guys in the
middle. And his, the people bitching about him are flanking
him, which we're sitting right next to him on either side,
but not even a distance like bumping. rubbing elbows, the
rubbin elbows for Christ's sakes. I know.
So PLAY CLIP number one. I'm
having a problem here for some reason. The clips aren't showing
up in the system. What is going on here? Hold on a second. I
don't know why this is happening. John. This is weird.
Okay, well, we can talk about something else in the meantime.
Well, I mean, I have to like really focus on this for a
second because I've got to start so I don't know what what
happened. This is not
I'll play a medley of my famous. Yes, slide. Whistle tune. There
you go.
Might Be Here Now let me just see.
Oh, yeah.
All right. If this doesn't work, then oh, there we go. Hey, would
you like me to play clip number one?
Yeah. For each
of the commissioners. Do you believe that employees
professional staff of the NRC have experienced intimidation,
hostile or offensive conduct on behalf of the chairman by the
chairman? Anything that would be considered to be intimidating,
hostile or offensive? By the chairman? Any professional
staff? experienced that? Yes.
Yes. They're raising their hands. Yes.
Yes. Definitely out of harass. Yeah.
Yeah. What's funny about this clip is that the guy sitting
there listening to this, he's got a really grim look on his
face. But this is a clip they that C span itself pulled as a
teaser, and ran it separately. To get people to watch C span.
I've never seen them do that before.
Dude, I'm seeing so much of this. If you go to C span.org. I
mean, they've completely redone the site. It's almost like
they're ready to take advertising. I mean, they're
really there. And by the way, wouldn't that be a surprise?
They're really working it now I know that they're doing there
some I don't know, if they got a new guy in and C span, maybe we
should check.
But it's got to be a new guy, because this is the old school
broadcasting stuff that they're doing. I admired because it does
get you you know, this is interesting. Of course, it does.
Let me tune in to this boring hearing.
And we're like, lured, like, Oh, yes. I can't wait for this. This
is wonderful. Now I know it's, I don't see anything. I don't see
a I don't see a new guy at C span. But someone is doing
something new at C span. There is someone had a meeting, that's
for sure.
And anyway, so this hearing this jackoff guy he was apparently
harassing female employees screaming at people he was just
a just a bad you know, the classic bad manager. I guess he
watched that bad manager new sitcom, he decided that's the
way to do it. So now I got some more short clip. This guy is a
more a little more action here the NRC hearings to up to me.
So as far as I know, I've had the ability to make decisions
fully informed. I have questions. I have doubts. I have
concerns.
Commissioner Osen Dorf.
My concerns with respect to be chairman style have been
primarily that his interface with our NRC staff has been
abrasive uses a term passionate, I'd say it has prevented staff
from feeling comfortable, they can bring forth their best views
and recommendations to the commission. From that
standpoint, I think that's a grave concern.
Have you lost confidence in his ability to lead this stage? I
have? Yes.
Oh, man, he's sitting right next to the guy.
So you know, again, we'll just set this up a little bit. So
what happened is there's a, an oversight committee hearing for
hours about and the day before this hearing. The there's five
commissioners, one of which is the Chairman, this is the
jackoff guy. And these four commissioners send a letter to
Chief of Staff daily. So that's like the head guy at Obama's
office. Well, not really because of course it's Valerie Jarrett,
and they say we're being bullied. This is not good. We're
being bullied very easily yelling at us. He has a
temporary so angry
inherently for the female staffers were in tears by the
way.
That's what they state but of course the guy denies Did you
hear the denials? Do you have that Look,
that's the that's the long clip I want for the end of the show.
That's when Labrador Oh no, no, I'm
talking about Chaffetz. No.
Oh no, I don't have chef that you got that. Well, I got
Chaffetz. It's like I thought Labrador was funnier in it,
which is the end of show club. It goes on for about three or 4
million.
This is not the election. But Chaffetz. If you listen to it,
it sounds like it seriously, if you put the music behind it, I
just want you to close your eyes. And imagine the Jeopardy
music. It is just like Jeopardy. Listen to
me, Chairman Jasco. You're undoubtedly aware of the letter
that was sent to the White House to the Chief of Staff dated
October 13 2011. There's five very serious charges in there.
Number one, intimidating and bullying. Bullied senior career
staffs true or false. I have not bullied and intimidated career
staff to referrals ordered staff to withhold or modified policy
information and recommendations intended to trans for
transmission to the commission.
There is one occasion in which I discussed with a very senior
manager a recommendation that he wanted to make on
an issue and will only one time in the history of your time
there.
Correct. And I have
attempted to intimidate the Advisory Committee on react to
react or safeguards the legislative anyway, it goes on
True or False sauce. True or False? Ignore the will of the
majority.
But isn't that just like a Jeopardy question True or False
on the national, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission true or
false? And
talking about who's bullying? Who here? Really? So
I have the poster Hoff who actually mentions the bullying.
That let me put that plainly. I have a real short the NRC
hearings number three and then you we can save the Labrador
which I think personally would argue about what was the best. I
liked Labradors the best because he's the one.
That was good. He was good. Alright, this is what's in this
clip. I know.
If he also controls his temper with he can continue to lead the
commission. Yes.
Chairman, there was an apology issued. I don't know whether you
drafted it, or the White House drafted it who drafted your
apology?
I prepared a letter that I sent to Mr. Daley. I'm not sure if
that's the letter you're referring to
have you apologise more than once?
I indicated to to Mr. Daley, in that letter that I was sorry for
the distraction that this has caused. Is that
the only thing you're sorry for us the distraction to you admit
any of the conduct that's been alleged this morning?
If, again, many of these accusations I'm hearing for the
first time,
well, that that doesn't impact whether they're true or not. The
fact that you haven't heard them yet, doesn't mean they're not on
question is simple. are they true? I don't believe that they
are true. What does that mean? I don't believe that they are
true.
Oh, I think you missed the best part. I have the follow on to
this. Listen to this.
Again, many of these accusations I'm hearing for the first time
well, that that doesn't impact whether they're true or not the
fact that you haven't heard them yet, doesn't mean they're not
true. My question is simple. are they true? I don't believe that
they are true. What does that mean? I don't believe that they
are true. And verbally abusive to female staff. No, I have not
have you withheld information from your fellow Commissioner. I
have not have you asked anyone are they on your team? I have
never said something like that. Chairman, let me tell you what
it looks like from my vantage point, which my background is
not in nuclear science. When you have four eyewitnesses that
testify to something under oath you know what they call the
defend and after that inmate I thought that was
part of it. I didn't know if I mean I could have clipped that
was a good line I thought that
jumped all over him after that for delivering that link because
this guy's not under indictment and going to go to jail so that
mine but it wasn't come wasn't much that guy thinking hurt is
caused by delivery.
I was I was just applauding the script writers I'm like, oh,
good line. Good line. I like it. Good one. And by the way, John
two will remind us that we'll have the the longer even better
clip at the end of the show just before Maynard's interview with
Sir Thomas
just a great interview by the way. Yes.
President Obama is recycling his jokes. Oh, no. Oh, yeah. Oh,
yeah. So here's, you know, he welcomed the troops home for
Christmas home for the holidays, which we knew what happened
unfortunately. No one I thought Justin Bieber would do the home
for the holidays remix. He did sing home for Christmas at the
Christmas carolling session with the president so I guess it was
wrong unless someone all of a sudden pops up with the with the
single I thought that was going to be a big hit. We should you
know, we're stupid. We should have rereleased it. We should
have bought a The Wrights home for the holidays so he's talking
to the troops and of course Michelle Obama goes first and
then he gets on stage
the way now, I'm sure you realise why I don't like
following Michelle Obama
I'm just saying. Gentleman, that's your goal to marry up.
Right? And I'm hearing that I'm like, wait a minute. He's
already done that joke. And here it is from October 27
Thank you very much. I hate following Michelle She's so
good. How lucky am I to be married to Michelle Obama
for you men out there who are not yet married. Let me explain
the whole goal is to marry up
I mean, really? If Seinfeld did the same joke twice in a row
he'd be vilified can't do that
or not if it's being taped no and it's it's almost identical
hate following Michelle Obama just a couple of different data
Marissa? She's a little joke and exact same just someone must
have quit Yeah, it's joke writer. What are we gonna do?
That's usually joke who's gonna notice what idiots are gonna do
when no one's watching this stuff? would notice this?
No, no. Exactly.
A couple of maniacs out of their basement whatever figure this
out
literally belligerence in their basement no one's gonna notice.
Yeah, well we noticed I'm just I was disappointed you know,
there's I watched the span I want original material or put a
date stamp on it that says this originally aired you know,
telling you it's the best television on TV besides the X
Factor I have to say I got kind of sucked into the X Factor.
Well I think before I go into that we may wish to thank our
executive producers for today's show so we get that out of the
way
already. We have we have a couple nice yeah,
we do we have Oh Tom abroad atomic Bob or whatever
rod atomic Rob Adams
atomic rod, which is a great name. It's
well, you know, he's in. He's in the Navy.
He's in Annapolis. So ya know, he's been a navy town. He
used to be on nuclear ships. He's our pro nuke guy. And he
always gives me the inside.
So we need we need people on all sides of the issues to give us
the we hoped that they don't like the or when an oil guy did
start leading us down the primrose path path to Nowhere.
But generally speaking about our oil guy when he talks about not
not Mr. Welch I'm talking about that guy some time ago that was
on that was on the platform and then he was
gone. Oh, yeah. No, he that guy. He was
a military guy who, who blasted me for saying that generals
designed their own uniforms and he sent me the code. This is a
you know, the army decides and then he sent him the code right
back saying read paragraph one idiot.
Do you know what I got from? From? I think the 256 airborne.
They sent me a flag. And a couple of new amazing challenge
coins but a flag that has flown over there. That camp there and
Afghanistan.
Oh, you should fly it over your house and yeah. Oh, you bet.
Austin. Yeah,
right next to the Mexican flag.
Yeah, well, I didn't get anything like that. Anyway, so
Well, let's give our three executive producers and one
Associate Executive producers a call out including atomic rod in
Annapolis, Maryland for donating 369 We gave him his birthday.
Call out last show your mainstream media deconstructions
inspired by petroleum push your deconstruction efforts on atomic
insights.at Atomic insights.com. For nearly five decades, people
have been taught to fear nuclear energy by people who make
hundreds of billions of dollars by selling competitive
hydrocarbons. I'm asking for karma as I continue in my second
year of working on a team producing small modular reactor
designs. I'm hoping to open warfare among commissioners in
the NRC is resolved by demoting the chairman whose management
competence has been denounced in a letter to the White House
signed by the other Commissioners.
Now he's he's hopping on that bullying train, obviously.
Alright, atomic rod. Good job. You've got karma. Lovely. He's
been telling me a lot about the small modular ones and you could
throw one in your backyard and run your entire neighbourhood on
it for forever. I MAN Yeah, me too.
So 365 bucks. A couple of 365 Show commemorative executive
producers Gavin Williams in Sevenoaks, Kent, longtime
listener longtime freeloader it's time to pay my dues
difficult times here and get mo UK slaves. We are torn on the
one hand we're happy to to be a part of the democracy deficiency
of the forthcoming EU superstate and on the other hand, stuck
with a national government subservient to the discredited
financial sector that dominates our ruling class route. We
escaped from an asylum only to look into the mirror to see
clowns laughing back at us. Yeah, that's true. The best
podcast in the universe must have my money before it's too
late.
You know, Gavin, I've often flown over Seven Oaks. It's a
very important point for air aeronautical navigation. And the
great thing about Seven Oaks is there's only six oaks there.
It sounds like something Canadians.
One fell down. I think one got blown over something. Yeah.
Beautiful.
Kirk and in Janessa, New York 365. dollar a day for the next
year. I'd love to give more. But unfortunately, the overlords
give me all the poverty I can afford. Please give me a shot of
karma to complete my doctoral dissertation by the end of the
year and other students.
You've got
karma? No, I'm just noticing that we missed a tremendous
opportunity because of course, we were too busy listening to
the President's repeat of jokes. The opportunity, of course was
to donate $1 a day a year in advance. 365 This is episode
365.
We got another two weeks for that to happen. This is true.
This is true. Carl Shmi. Mac or Shai Mac, one of the two traigo
Wisconsin $200.01. Adam, welcome to Austin. I guess he must have
moved there too. Yeah, he's moved there. But he's his old
Pay Pal address is in Wisconsin. He came in from Wisconsin. Sure.
You enjoy the unrelenting drought? And 10 degree days this
summer? Hell yeah. and Sr associate it
doesn't bother me. It doesn't.
It's a dry heat. Yeah, I want to thank everyone who donated and
once you are out there of having to join the cause and joined our
our little club here to go to divorce.org/na Dvorak dot I'm
sorry. divorced.org/and a channel to bark.com/and a no
agenda show.com And no agenda nation.com We're gonna hit the
donate button and help us get through the rest of the year,
which is going to be a little rough here.
Yeah. But of course, I do like the idea of donating $1 a day in
advance that, hey, you know, the dollars add up. That's good.
That's how it works. So we we can continue to do this. I mean,
if people think I had this discussion this morning with
someone, we make it look easy. I have to say, we make it look
easy, but there's a lot that goes on in between these shows.
I mean, I I'm done with the show. I'm immediately looking at
okay, what's going on now and you have to be constantly aware.
I mean, the car I'm on my phone. I mean, I don't know if you do
this, but I'm always it's always switching between channels,
multiple monitors, you know, with C span one and two
streaming on the computer always watching what's happening.
Turning up volumes. You know, it's impossible to live with me.
I don't know what Nikki puts up with it.
But yeah, there's a lot of monitors going with some of the
people come into the room they go, what do you watch? If you're
if you're awake?
What am I not watching
everyone's advice? doze off. Oh, my God, what did I miss?
I've had that happen, where I'm on the couch literally. Falling
asleep. And then I went What? What did I hear what?
Get up on a DVR? Yeah, it was. You see what it was that knocked
you out? Yeah, exactly.
borak.org/and A couple of interesting PR initiatives
happening here some domain names forwarding to no agenda.
show.com Here's some bogus amateur domain names, reset your
bug. ometer.com. This, of course, is a derivative of
Mogilev peg the bug ometer.com. Reset the bergama.com. All these
forwarding to no agenda show.com. That's highly
appreciated. A couple of these are good. Of course, Chelsea
Clinton in her march to continue the legacy Blake has registered
for us, Clinton 20 twenty.com and Chelsea Clinton.
20 twenty.com, which I think is you know, we might be here in
eight years. Ready for her to run for the presidency.
Yeah. She'll be clunking around just like her mom.
We have a new one. clippity clop. And it's not it's not
clunky. And it's clippity clop and watch TV for me.com which is
exactly what we do. And then got an email. I'm not even sure
where this is from. I'm drunk, but my understanding is that is
this is encouraged. One of the awesome apps guys should make an
app for newsstand on iOS devices. There's practically
nothing in there besides the New York Times Guitar World and
something like effing dotnet today or whatever. A no agenda
newsstand app that pulls from the show notes or something will
probably be popular just because it's not about dotnet F dotnet.
And I can't play the guitar shows awesome. I'm drunk. Cool.
It didn't send any money
at least why do you make again I'm missing the point.
But at least he's doing so he's on the right track. Everybody
else out there and drunk or not you can always go out and
propagate the formula formula is
this. We go out we hit people in the mouth
can do some funny? Some really fun a little pre production
stuff I did. It wasn't I mean, don't get too excited now. So
I'm still following this whole pedo bear Penn State thing what
pre production
hit Yeah, he
said pretty pre production.
So I'm following the whole Pedobear Penn State thing
because I'm trying to end it really is astounding what is
going on? And of course our media is completely useless,
completely useless. And I picked up so the Sandusky lawyer held a
press conference and guys actually pretty good you know I
guess Sandusky so the I don't want to I waive my right to
preliminary hearings of course now we won't get any of the
evidence of
that guy's pretty good because it looks like he's trying to set
up a miss trial with all the craziness is doing right
so I'm listening to this and just like when someone says you
know a website we always look up to who is you know, we're always
looking for the source right which is what does that called?
Morning Yeah, journalism. Yeah, right work. Yeah. Why Why would
anyone else do that but us here in the basement. And so I listen
to this. And then I had an idea
that anyone is naive enough to think for a minute that Tim
Curley Joe Paterno, Gary short and for that matter. Graham
Spanier university president were told by Mike McQueary that
he observed Jerry Sandusky having anal sex with a 10 year
old looking kid in a shower room at Penn State on Penn State
Property and their response was simply to tell Jerry Sandusky
that don't go in the shower room anymore with kids. I suggest you
die when you go to reality. Because that makes absolutely
that makes absolutely no sense.
Okay, so he says if you think this actually went down like
this, and someone just said oh, don't go in the shower with
kids. You should dial one 800 reality
bow so I know where you're headed with this one
I dialled one 800 reality
Hey guys, welcome to the hottest place for triple tax action.
Bursting pleasure with gay bi curious just 99 cents per minute
on average and only 299 permitted for live one on one
talk with a hot guy
What a bargain
so it really if you don't want it under the reality you get the
gay and bi get Arias Lauren site. The only 99 cents a minute
or 299 if you're bi curious. I'm like I mean. I mean, so how
did you I mean you're in Did you Did you pay the 299? No, I'm
considering
it. Yeah, so there's hot guys triplex action. Cheap. Oh, what
What an imbecile?
No. Is it funny bulge bursting hot guys.
Call one 800 reality. Anyway, we have one report that was kind of
that was picked up on the net, I think really? Oh, really? Oh,
that
doesn't surprise me. And I think it was was that blogged until he
was on divorce
may have been blocked. And I don't you know, I don't think we
picked it up. But I don't think I know for pretty sure that the
news media and regular news media didn't pay any attention
to that humour. I mean, these guys are out to lunch. Oh, yeah.
I mean, I got lots of stocks. Oh, go ahead. Go ahead and white
list.
I got all kinds of I got. I mean, I got
a couple of pet peeves. If you can spot in these commercials.
Well, there's a couple of let's start with the short one. I have
a short one. I'm listening to this. I'm just flipping around I
got this show on a sec on do it yourself or something. This is
and this guy use this terminal. I realised that I've heard this
done before. And I didn't really realise at the time how much I
hated it was very exciting. Okay, all times even has your
name on it. Very exciting. That guy gives her something. It's
just got your name on it very exciting. And I've noticed this
before, where people just drop in very exciting as though
something's exciting about having your name on something.
And I just realised that that little term very exciting is
like a deal breaker for me. And somebody says that what's not
exciting? It's like, that's a great question is exactly that
same category. It's not exciting. It's certainly not
very exciting. Exactly. Now, the other one that bugs me, is the
no one and telling you this pick up in this clip what it is that
Mike gall me about what they're talking about. This is just a
vitamin commercial.
I take an omega from my heart. But to be honest, I find the
Omega choices overwhelming, which one is right for me. Then
I found new Pro nutrients Omega three, it's from Centrum, and
they might trust it goes beyond my heart to support my brain and
eyes too. And these Ultra Concentrated mini gels are much
smaller than many others. It's part of a whole new line of
supplements. There's probiotic and fruit and veggie to new Pro
nutrients from spectrum helps make nutrition possible.
Yeah, that would be the veggies.
Veggies is a vitamin fill. And so like a gel, it's a gel cap.
What is fruit? What is she talking about? Sir veggies in
the cap are what's veggies and you know what I think about the
word veggie, it's veggie gel. I hate that word. Veggie 12
borax diva day.
I so agree. I heard that a restaurant the other day Kevin
Brewer was and I was all ready to launch into the guy who just
like, I looked at Mickey and she gave me the eye
and gave me the stink guy. Oh, don't don't do
it shut up. I want to have a nice dinner
with the guy peeing in the food in the back.
So I'm Lucifer. This is very interesting. And I unfortunately
didn't have the time I'm going to if it's still relevant, maybe
I'll I'll really get into it. So she was interviewed by PBS. And
they really hacked off this entire interview and the full
length interview is on the state.gov website. And and just,
you know, because I was listening to that, while I was
prepping last night, and I'm like, oh, man, she's a real
downer. You know, she's like, Oh, we have to do we have to
make sure there's balance. I mean, it's all these code words
for America. F Yeah, basically. So they really hacked up this
interview, which took out all the offensive bits, I think on
PBS. And I took just one little relevant statement.
Well, that's the balancing act we do literally every day. You
know, I think one of our strongest values is our
protection and advocacy for human rights and in particular
our support for democracy and the recognition that although
elections are not by any means the only definition of democracy
they are a kind of you know condition that would be that has
to be satisfied to go forward and so we're always looking at
how we can communicate clearly what the United States stands
for because we came we saw a died there you go
a little you're doing a little editing
we want to communicate with the United States stands for we came
we saw he died. That wasn't actually in the in the in the
interview, but I think you get my point.
Yeah, well, you know, sometimes it gets boring. You have to like
beef these things up. I got a little clip of a from the new
Ben app, not Ben Affleck, the
other guy, Matt Damon,
Matt Damon, his new movie, which is a summer you know, what is it
what they sell? I buy a house. It's actually a zoo. What's it
called? I don't know. I don't really care because I'm not
gonna go see it. I do have this one potential little. So I do
have the whole clip of him talking about it. Last minute,
we'll play that first. This is an example of apparently Damon
went out and said that you know, Disney movies suck or something.
He did something they had that Matt Lauer on the Today Show had
to help him get dig himself out of because he figured oh my god
you know will never work for Disney again. I might never get
another acting job right? And so you can see the nervousness in
this clip and I and play play worried about Disney.
So it's a big cutest kids you've ever seen and you know, the most
beautiful animals and that's it. So if we're if if if it goes
horribly pear shaped for us. We'll have learned our lesson.
Is
it true that when you first started talking about this doing
this movie you said I don't want this to sound derogatory. You
said I don't want it to turn out like a Disney version of this
no, nothing wrong with Disney movies. No, no, I
know. I mean, of course, nothing at all. But yeah, the over
saccharin version.
You don't want things to simple and easy. Yeah.
Yeah. Kind of cheesy, you know, so which is to say more of like
the kind of TV movie version, you know, version of the thing
was a big Brasi on a bar.
Of course, he knows what side is better bread is buttered on, you
don't want to give that up.
So there's a little mini clip that I pulled that I think we
can use either at Evergreen or I'm going to start tacking it
onto the end of clips, which is they there's a scene from the
movie where they guy tells Matt Damon that this house that he
bought was actually a zoo, and his little girl that's like, I
don't know, she's like, 10 or some go GA and it's just a
really good yay. And I wanted to play it. Oh.
Okay, so I think this is gonna be my yay, instead of the
screaming yay for the next. All right, this is for to 2012. Just
make sure that I'll make sure this is queued up for the entire
show. It's your your little yay, no problem. So the President
came out with an executive order, late last night, right
there hit it. Executive Order late last night, and its 2011
amendments to the manual for courts martial. And that we get
the authority vested in me as president and constitution of
the laws blah, blah, including chapter blah, blah, blah. In
order to prescribe amendments to the manual for courts martial
United States prescribed by executive order 12473, which is
the initial court martial manual from 1984. To be amended, it is
hereby ordered as follows section one parts three and four
of the manual for courts martial United States are amended as
described in the annex attached and made a part of this order.
So I'm like, where's the annex? And can't find it. The executive
order is not even on the Federal Register website yet. So I'm
looking around, I'm looking at what is going on. And it turns
out, he's done this exact same thing in 2010. On August 31. The
year it was in 30 days, same thing as this one changes to
part two and part four. Part Two was rules. Part four is punitive
articles of the courts martial manual will go into effect, as
described in the annex. And this annex never surfaced. And and if
you look around, if you google this, it turns out that people
are saying, hey, there's a secret laws, you know, we have
it's not in the Federal Register, you can't find the
annex. And I'm like, What is this about? Why is this so
secret? So then I see the headline, military rules guide
hearing in WikiLeaks case, which kicks off on Friday. I believe
what Oh, yeah. I believe that because of course, Manning will
be court martialed. Something has been changed. Kazumi Lee
related to specifically related to his case, yes, is like
typical
ex post facto. In other words, you arrest a guy, you got really
maybe you got nothing on him. And so you say, well, let's
change the rules to affect him, which is, which, by the way is
against the Constitution, it's illegal to do this. It's called
an ex post facto law. And but they're gonna do it anyway. And
you can kind of get away with it if the rules are secret. Yeah.
In other words, what we're gonna see is the guy's gonna get
railroad towed whenever you see a joint he's more military law
in this country. We're never going to see the
guy. We won't see any video. We're not going to see a perp
walk. We're not going to see anything. I still question if
the guy exists.
Yeah, I have that.
I mean, we've had we've had that up there. We've had that theory
for a long time. But
would there be no point in changing the military court
martialed handbook if that was the case? And
and so part four we know is punitive. Part three is what
constitutes a court martial. And it's very late you know, the the
entire manual for court martial is a long, long document. As I
just tried to read the relevant part three and Part Four last
night, I'm like, this is Bogut IV, how can you like just change
the military law is law and not tell us and
somebody must have a copy of this as can't be top secret?
Well,
the AMEX from 2010 It has never surfaced.
What's got to be around someone must have seen it's got to be
around somewhere.
Well, we have a lot of military personnel listening so I'm
hoping that someone might find something somewhere and can you
know, maybe slip me something in encrypted form because it's
just yeah with with a reasonable date on So we can see what's
being changed
very very annoying. Very annoying. So then then all this
bullying stuff which is driving me nuts. So we had the the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission, a big bleed and by the way, the
guy is probably a total dick. I mean, I'm sure he is I'm sure
he's populous like a dick. Yeah, he was Haley's head looks like a
dickhead.
And when we see here that thing at the annual I think, which I
still think is the funniest clip, which is Labrador from
Idaho going after him. It's just too funny, too. It's just
hilarious. Right? Great entertainment.
So you know, but here's, here's people who are hot guy, one of
the guys ran an entire division within the Navy and he can't
stand up to this douche. I mean, what are we what are we teaching
to now Facebook has opened up what you'll see soon as you know
where you can flag something is like terrorist content. No,
yeah, no. Yeah. Great. Now you can flag someone if you think
their posts are suicidal. And then Facebook will reach out to
you.
I just do that for everyone. To post some Taylor sidled to me,
I still have a Facebook account. I'm going to be flagging
everybody is suicidal, I'm just gonna be
bringing me down.
I'm just gonna be flagging everyone is a suicidal poster.
So you know, this is all part of this bullying thing. And then
just report after report. And now it's like bullying in the
workplace again, when Steve Jobs bullies people around he's a
genius. Oh, he's the Albert Einstein of our era. He's
fantastic. But everyone else bully heard
about here's my pet peeve bullying when it comes to
children, whether it be on the playground or on the internet,
but what about adult bullies? Bullies in the workplace? And if
you work with one, what can you do about it? Kimberly? Exactly.
Get the judge with some experts. Kimberly, can as
you said, many of us have had a bully for a boss or co worker at
one point or another in our careers. Yeah,
that's what it is. That's what's called a job.
It's called the job you get bullied. Hello,
they mess with you. They insult you humiliate you and nitpick
just about everything you do, because maybe you suck. You
gotta be motivated. That
guy's a dick. Yeah. While you're playing this cue up the old
noodle boy, dude,
I already have it ready. Such a problem in the workplace at the
stress of it all can lead to health problems.
This is the next thing this is an excellent stress from
bullying leads to health problems. Watch this. You can
just see it coming. It
even forces some people to quit.
Sometimes you bully people to get them to quit. Let's get this
guy and I used to do She's no good. It's brilliant.
It was a trigger nightmare.
A nightmare is how this person who wishes to remain anonymous
describes the strain of working in an environment where he was
constantly bullied by his supervisors. He says the abuse
gave him anxiety attacks and high blood pressure. Oh, so we
can get your Lipitor and we can get you what can we get you for?
Ambien yaghi, all kinds of groovy stuff. Don't worry, it's
health concerns. This is this is a big setup.
My supervisor was always the guys
like blacked out and the voice is vocoded doubt Oh,
no, please. Yeah. He doesn't want the government informing
against the mob. He
doesn't want to be bullied even more
winning the argument and it did not matter who she was hurt him
in the process.
He claims that while on the job, he was belittled yelled at and
made the focus of gossip all while watching his co workers
who he says were less educated and less qualified, be treated
better. When he reported what was happening. My bosses
basically looked the other way. Workplace Bullying can take a
number of forms from needlessly harsh criticism to being falsely
accused of a mistake.
What is needlessly harsh criticism? My goodness, I mean,
I've been a bully all my life. Apparently. I would say I like
directness, like, hey, that really sucks. Is that needlessly
harsh? You have to sugarcoat everything because otherwise
you're gonna cry. We're not
China plank. Well, in China, we you know, I remember. I mean,
I've been there to lecture people about how about
journalistic practices in the United States compared to China?
And in China, you can't really be critical you have because
everything is save face. So you can't really say anything like,
this product stinks. I can't say that it's impossible. If
you're Steve Jobs, and you're a genius. Are you allowed to say
that Steve Jobs is the exception to the rule, but this is the
this is the hypocrisy of it all. This is the hypocrisy
among other things. I mean, Steve Ballmer shouts at people
Bill Gates is notorious for following up. Here's a couple of
gates one's gaze would go up to people is when people have
brought up when Microsoft would buy a company, they would always
get these stories. And he said, Gates would go up to people
literally and look right at me say, do we pay A you working
here? Yeah,
exactly.
And huge other one was. That's the stupidest idea I've ever
heard. Sure. That's the opening of the show, by the way. Thank
you. That's perfect. Now, this is what it is. I mean, this.
leaders and companies have to be this way, sometimes, you know,
you may not like it,
those different styles of man. And the thing is that if you're
working for one of these guys, and you don't like it, that
apparently at Apple, a lot of these people will, and I think
is the case with a lot of technical people, especially
coders. They like to be badgered, because they won't do
anything. Otherwise. I mean, it's just you have to treat them
with disrespect, or they won't, they won't, some people will
need to be treated with disrespect, or they won't
perform this kind of like, you know, crazy sex relationship
some people might have. And the fact is,
this is the second time you've saved yourself, but okay,
even hearing you do it. I've got Ted Koppel saying that but even
here, you're doing
a quarrel with yourself.
Yeah, is that if you don't perform well under these
circumstances, like this wimp here that is that is whining,
quit and get a different job or, or do a showdown with the guy
mean you're or move
to Europe, go to the EU, Parliament,
China, there's a lot of work in China, this
is destroying this country, this type of this this attitude, you
know, or work really hard, be really great, become the boss
and then go bully someone else and make you feel better. When
we do
having your comments or opinions dismissed or not acknowledged
and being held to a different standard. Maybe they were dumb
comments, alerts and policies and co workers in similar
positions. cm us Dr. Denise Russo says stories of workplace
bullying are common. But we've been slow to do anything about
it.
There are very few labour laws that really interfere with what
goes on inside the workplace in terms of how people are treated
within a normal range. But I do think that doesn't upset the
organisation from a moral responsibility to make the
workplace a place where people can behave cooperatively, and
effectively.
Well, that's true, of course you want you want your workplace to
be. And if it's not effective because of that, then a good
leader has to step in and change that. Obviously. That makes
total sense.
Experts say if you think you're being bullied in the workplace,
you need to take a stand. Yeah, start by documenting the
behaviour, then speak up to the harasser. And if that doesn't
work, contact your HR department and or the harassers Boss,
this is where it really started, these damn HR departments may
not agree this is where it all started. Here's the irony
of this entire report. In my opinion, the irony, this is
coming. This report is coming from a broadcasting
organisation,
the biggest bullying companies in the universe. Totally, always
bullied, sexually harassed, it's all about bullying. Yeah, yeah.
Let's play the noodles, kid. So we can see what the next
generation has learned from all this? Well, like I
described earlier, there are two fundamental classes that are
just a plain fact in society, you either work for someone
else, or you work for yourself. And most people work for someone
else in a way that they aren't free. Free, you don't really get
to decide your work. For example, I work at noodles, a
restaurant. And basically it's a dictatorship, there are totally
technically what we're going to cook, how we're going to cook
it, what time we're going to get there. And basically, if they
don't like what they're doing, they try to tell us what to do.
If we don't listen, they get rid of us. And so we don't, we're
not able to actually cooperate in a way that we make decisions
together, I try to convince my my fellow employees that we
should have a union at neutral. So it's a source of power to
start with. And then I think in terms of the bigger picture,
when you look at revolutions, the way that you actually get
rid of any sort of dictatorship, is by having workers take
control of the place where they work. Would your plan your
vision for noodles? Sure.
Would it include the owner? What capacity would he be granted, if
the owner
wanted to cooperate with us as an equal and provide his skills
that he had? We would definitely cooperate with him we'd have to
abdicate his position as being an owner and controller advice
and he would have to recognise that we were all noodles
together and basically, if he doesn't want to cooperate with
us, he's against us.
You don't own noodles together. You don't you don't well, that's
what we're being taught here.
Yeah. Coming from the schools. Hey, this
communism thing does that work out? Is that proven to be I
mean, if it's if it works out, I'm willing to try it but I
don't think it's been works so far, hasn't been very
successful.
This is Coming from the schools, this is part of the self esteem
movement and all the other stuff that the kids are being taught
to cooperative. You know, we're not here to, you know, it's not
about winning. There's no competition. We shouldn't have
competition, we should be cooperating on everything. It's
just a ridiculous perspective of it's a do nothing. Concept, to
be honest about. Yeah, it's good to get nothing done. What is
this kid talking about? He doesn't know how to run a noodle
company. Once you start what if he's so good? Don't get some VC
money. jerk off. Kids in India. It's like, I'd fire him if I
heard this. You're out. Yeah, you're done.
You're gone. Yeah.
You know, in. In Europe, you can't even fire people. In
Europe. The bullying is much worse than that. We'll get off
this topic. Because you can't fire someone. You can't. There
has to be the only reason the only in like in Holland. In the
lowlands, you can only fire someone if the if you can prove
the company is in financial distress.
And in Germany, I think Americans realise is onerous
European laws which are helping bring down to EU but in Germany,
they have a period of time once a year, I believe it may have
changed. But last time I heard there was one period like two
weeks out of the year, you can fire them you're
not familiar with this, that's called the hour. Happy Hour is
what we call that
two weeks that day. And then once you get past two weeks,
you're good to go. You're good for a year. Maybe two weeks, it
might be a couple of days. I'm one of our German listeners will
straighten this out.
So I was listening to that Dvorak Horwitz unplugged show
you guys do
Yeah, and great show Dh unplugged.com Yeah,
unfortunately you guys have no idea what you're talking about.
And that's the sad thing it's a problem but
it's still good.
So let me tell you so the price of gold is running visited by
gold and when you guys talked about it is running back down to
1500 it may even go below that but let me tell you what's
happening this is this is and this is just John against Adam
because I totally I'm holding on long but I'm not I don't have
gold as long as I don't have gold as an investment to go sell
later on. When it's all everything falls down and we
have the new world currency then I'll go exchange my gold for it
and my gold would be worth three four or $5,000 old money what's
happening now is the banks are so freaked out they are
liquidating everything's everyone is selling gold because
they need money. Because the money there's just no money it's
over. And then once this is done, you watch the price run up
like crazy. I was looking at for the lowlands listeners, ABN AMRO
the Greek government where actually the Greek
transportation companies owe them about 1.2 billion euros
which are never going to get IMF has already given ABN AMRO 180
million euros. So the IMF went to didn't go even go into the
Greek bank. They just gave it to ABN AMRO. And where did that IMF
money come from? Hello, stupid slaves from your taxes. We're
just paying off bankers now directly, not even going to the
Greek central bank. So there was that? And then you asked a very
good question about this whole MF Global thing, which by the
way, is being completely censored in the media. This is
John Corizon, former Goldman Sachs CEO who left Goldman Sachs
with $400 million in cash, who subsequently subsequently became
a bundler for President Obama. In fact, let's go back when the
John Corizon was running for Governor of New Jersey, I think
that must have been 2009 2010 Maybe because 1009
Here is consulted book and knowledge. Well, why don't you
do that? Here is President Obama talking about John Corizon, the
man who as CEO of MF Global is directly responsible for over a
billion dollars of his clients money gone missing. And just
missing and my
question is, why is this man smiling? Have you seen well,
because it's always got a shitty print on it either you
give a crap because then you're not gonna go to they're not even
C span is pulling this off. C span is interrupting their
programming, and it's on C span three, which most people don't
have the hearing. It's a it's a Senate hearing. And they just
they're just like, Oh, we're gonna go to something else. Now
something else, you know, I don't know, something much more
important. So here's President Obama endorsing John Corizon.
For Governor
past four years, you've had an honourable man at the helm in
this state honourably one of the most difficult periods in its
history.
Listen, no crazy Obama gets about this guy because he is the
head of the Goldman Sachs empire. He is He is the money
man he sees he is he is the actual guy who's asked Obama has
to lick.
You've had a leader who's put the interests of hardworking New
Jersey families ahead of the special and he was one of the
best colleagues. I had the Senate, but he's also one of the
best partners I have in the White House.
Oh, you mean the SES is a good partner great.
We work together. We work together to steal. What when we
were putting together the Recovery Act, we worked together
to figure out how can we put people back to work as quickly
as possible and steal things you've got and John Corazon is
somebody who tells it to you straight and steals voice. John
Corizon. Listen for more years, he's governor of New Jersey,
will partner with you to make sure that every child gets a
good education. Everybody has healthcare. His voice is
cracking. He's out of control. Everybody has a job that pays a
living wage. That's what we're fighting for. I need you to
work. So I'm gonna ask you, Camden. Are you fired up? Ready
to go? Ready to go? Ready to go. Let's get to work. Thank you,
everybody. God bless, Keith. totally freaking out. I need to
do this.
So that's John Corizon. Very important man to the President.
Now, John, could you just briefly explain? What is the
controversy here with MF Global? What is the problem?
Well, the problem is the major is the it's the biggest, the
biggest blunt or not blunder, but the most criminal thing you
can do. When you're running any of these investment companies,
you have your working funds, and you have customer funds, and the
customer funds. So in other words, so if you're like, for
example, Lehman Brothers, and you go out of business, your
customer funds sit there, and they get given back to the
customers because they're investing using you as just an a
vehicle. And so you take their money and invest it in some
companies, and they now own that stock. Sometimes you have the
street ownership or whatever. But but the thing is that you
have your money safe, and the company goes broke, you get your
money back, you cannot by law under any circumstances. And by
the way, we're Sarbanes Oxley and all
Yes, stay with me, that's what I'm going to answer for you stay
with me. So you cannot
start mixing or intermingling customer money with your
personal, you know, your corporate money that you're
investing or the profits or whatever you're doing. It's not
one big pot of money. It's like you have customer money that if
something bad happens to the company, the customers get their
money back and you're broke.
Now it can be held in collateral, for instance, you
know, you may not be able to get it back immediately. If you're a
customer, but the money is going to be there and you can see it
and you know where it is right?
You should be able to get it back immediately. But okay, you
have to you have to be able to get it back. You cannot it
cannot disappear. Okay, well, this billion dollars of customer
money disappeared, taking away. It's just an amazing I mean,
it's, it's astonishing that this happened. So here. This is
bigger than Lena. Oh, yes.
So here is Senator Stabenow who's Democrat. I like her a
lot. And she's running the whole show. And she has a very simple
question edited for your convenience. I
mean, how do you how do you answer that? Where is the money
from funds that were supposed to be kept separate? Customer
money? It's just in Canvas, CFO, where's the money?
Senator, unfortunately, I do not know whether the money is
secured and where's the money?
Senator, enormous numbers of transactions were taking place
in those very final days. I tried to put that in my
statement about the 30,000 customers, the many countries
and those need to be parsed through to arrive at
an answer Abalos for you as well, where's the money? We're
looking for top three people, the company who are responsible
for the overall internal controls of this company. And so
where's the money?
Senator? As I said in my statement, I do not know where
the money is.
So here's the top three guys in the company. I don't know where
the money is. I mean, it's like you got caught with where the
cookies in the cookie jar. I don't know where they went. And
you're right. And Corizon is just smiling and he's all like
contrite as the CFO is the CEO, the CEO? Oh, I don't know where
the money's is so many transactions. Well, let's talk
about those transactions listen to Corizon waffle.
So as I said in my opening remarks, I never directed anyone
at MF Global to misuse customer funds. Now,
that is a very shaky statement. Words matter in this case, I
never directed anyone to misuse funds. No, you could have told
him to steal the funds and then you wouldn't be lying
technically under oath. I never intended to never intended to
but I might have
done it. And as far as I'm concerned, and never gave
instructions that anybody could misconstrue, as far
as I'm concerned, I'm concerned never gave instructions that
anyone could misconstrue. So when it
was easy, could it give them instructions to steal the money?
Yes.
Now you asked very correctly. What about Sarbanes Oxley? Isn't
that supposed to these tough regulations that were that came
in, which essentially ruined the IPO market for years is now
finally coming around, but really ruined a lot of the
financial sector covertly, I'd almost say. So what about the
Sarbanes Oxley by the way, John Corizon, co author of Sarbanes
Oxley? Did you know that you got me co author, he wrote the
rules. If you write the rules, maybe you know how to get around
him.
First, Mr. Corizon, and Mr. Steenkamp on May 20 of 2011, you
both signed certificates required by Sarbanes Oxley
legislation, ensuring that MF Global's internal controls were
over financial reporting were accurate. And I have copies of
that. And I'm wondering, given what you know, today, and $1.2
billion, potentially in customer funds that are missing? Would
you sign this document again? Mr. Horton?
So very interesting here. Apparently, Sarbanes Oxley all
requires a few just say, yeah, it looks good. I mean, that's
what it is he all they have to do is sign a statement that
says, ya know, everything looks good. You know, the controls
look good. I guess I guess we're all good to go. Is that all
requires that the big hoopla was about? Or is that how you get to
interpret the law? If you're the co author of it, thief? Beef,
now listen to his answer.
Senator, given what we know, today, you wouldn't sign that
document because you would not have had the assurances of the
people the systems the procedures verified by all of
those that were responsible for internal confirmation that the
data was accurate and clearly, as has been repeated, there is
certainly some amount 1.2 or 600 million different numbers of
dollars that are unreconciled with regard to segregation
accounts,
the guy is is a thief
somebody's a thief, there's a million dollars missing. But
this doesn't go missing
but doesn't seem like anyone really cares. No one I mean, so
this could easily happen to your 401 K account it could happen to
you and I think it's gonna I think this is this may be
happening all over the place. You know, if if sovereign
nations are not afraid to dip into your pensions, why wouldn't
a bank say look? Look there's a billion dollars over there. What
does that bill you have to pay a billion dollars? Oh, can I just
use that for a little while? Don't worry, I'll put it back.
No one will know.
Yeah, that's the thinking. Ah, that's what you're not supposed
to mix these funds because that temptation is to you know as you
get you know, your there'll be want to balance your books a
little bit. Let's take some of the customer money even though
it's today somebody else's money. And I'm borrowing it from
them without asking. And I'm going to you Oh, I lost it. Oh,
now what am I going to do? Well, let me just borrow some more of
that customer money who's going to know because I can't make the
same mistake twice. Never gonna happen. I'm too good at this
because I'm an expert. Let's take a bunch of money we'll
double it. Let's put it in some crazy and oh no, we lost the
more money I mean, there's no money left. Because these guys
are obviously Boneheads. He's
not just an expert. He's the President's bestest buddy, so
he's got nothing to worry about. Nothing's gonna happen. Well, I
hope you burn in hell Corizon. Well, it's really no, seriously
part of Sarbanes Oxley. I hate him even more. Yeah,
he co authored it. And if you call Yeah, he knows all the ins
that's why he's so contrite. And so he I don't I have nothing,
nothing to hide, nothing to worry about. I don't know where
the money is. I don't know. You know, it's a complicated
business. Ah, Just unbelievable to me just really law
Well, let's get this straight he's an alleged thief. No, no.
So, no okay, well
what? Like anyone is listening to this he's gonna just say it
like anyone in the world
hearing more stories and hearing will come to order get the
billion dollars out of him.
Come on Come and get it bitches
so the he's gotten gold bags yeah rice
abhorrent I tell you.
So we have we been staying on the EU's topic of conversation.
Yeah,
good idea. I have a Farraj clip by the way, there's another
lavish short
piece of a Farraj clip, but you probably have the long one. But
I was watching si, si, si TV, whatever it is this Chinese news
network. This is one of my I watched this when I saw all the
Chinese news. So that China here's the Chinese rundown of
the EU troubles kind of in a nutshell, packaged by the
Chinese and and then there's a kind of a Farraj comes out
talking about being in the lifeboat. And then the Chinese
news anchor finishes the clip by blowing up the metaphor into not
a lifeboat but an iceberg or some it's just as kind of funny
at the end. Right. But but the whole clip is kind of an
interesting summary from a chain and his perspective.
On Friday, British Prime Minister David Cameron left his
country alone in the 27 nation European Union at a summit in
Brussels to try and stop the Eurozone debt crisis. He vetoed
plans for a fiscal Treaty, which would impose closer control over
national government budgets. The plan is going ahead regardless,
European Council President Herman Van Rompuy says the pack
to enforce greater fiscal disguise.
Chinese accent is incredible discipline will be finalised
in March,
following consultations with national parliaments. We should
know the number of participating states. I'm optimistic because I
know that there's going to be very close to 27. In fact, 26
leaders indicated their interest in this efforts. Yeah, they
recognise the Euro is a common good.
On Monday, David Cameron defended his decision on
Britain's anti European UKIP party has a seat in the European
Parliament and its outspoken leader Nigel Farage went a step
further.
Well, you've decided to head off on the Titanic towards economic
and democratic disaster. We're now in a lifeboat.
The new fiscal pact will be extremely demanding for some
countries. It will require national budgets to be balanced
with annual deficits limited 2.5% of GDP. It's hoped the
first draft of the new fiscal treaty could be ready by next
week. The European Union aims to have it in place by June Yeah,
it makes me wonder whether Europe's the Titanic and Britain
the iceberg or the other way around. Yeah, so that was that's
the the essence of the the Nigel Farraj clip. That's the essence
of it's kind of funny because he gets a blue card, blue card blue
card and there's a whole card that means you can intervene and
ask a question. And then with all these like shields and stuff
like that, laughing like maniacs like I know
I every time I watch the European Union, whatever it is,
what is that? The what is that? Part of the body that he's
whatever the tower, whatever
it is. It's like they have the camera on Farraj moaning about
something and then they show all these other guys is stooges from
all these other countries? laughing Oh, that guy's an
idiot. Yeah.
Yeah. Like so. And even when the chairman whatever his name is
the white haired Ron Paul. No, no, no. Oh, forget the guy's
name. When he said when he calls on Nigel Farraj is always like,
it's time for time for the Joker. That's right. Bring on
everyone. Everyone's sitting down because we're gonna have a
little jokey recorders ready. This will be this will be on
YouTube. You know what will is great. Here we go. Make sure
your makeups ready. So there was another question.
So oh, the news. Everybody's talking about the National
Transportation Safety board's recommendations. You can't use
cell phones in your cars is crazy. You can't even use
Bluetooth, like my goodness, where is this coming from? Well,
there must be. I think this is completely a commercial for a
Ford in their sync product because that's, that's the one
that's highlighted. The most OnStar of course, is the bigger
company that has everything integrated because what they're
saying and actually You know, unlike those people that what
are they called by a journalist, I actually went to the
recommendations to look it up. And so if you saw any of this
hoopla going on here is the actual language, which says
nothing about Bluetooth or anything like that they made all
that up to the CTIA, the wireless Association and
Consumer Electronics Association, the NTSB recommends
encourage the development of technology features that disable
the functions of portable electronic devices within reach
of the driver, one of the vehicles in motion, these
technology features should include the ability to permit
emergency use of the device while the vehicle is in motion,
and have the capability of and this is key identifying occupant
seating position as not to interfere with the use of device
by passengers that this doesn't say at all, that you can't use
your Bluetooth. But immediately, the reports were, well, you
know, you got to get an in car device and on the speaker phone,
you can't use your Bluetooth. And it's and by the way, we kind
of want you to be connected, so we can talk to you. And if
there's an accident, it'd be really good because we can track
you. This is a as far as I'm concerned. Watch forge product
line. And I see the Ford advertising on all of the new
stations with a sync product. And the entire package is about
how important Ford SYNC is. So this guy really played up I
haven't been able to trace how this little line got to you
can't use Bluetooth headpieces because that's the report
anyone? Luckily, the absurdity of it all was put into context
by presidential candidates, Congressman Ron Paul,
federal government have a role in recommending when you can use
your cell phone while driving?
No, no way. I looked in Article One, Section Eight, they don't
even say anything about telephones there. So no, they
shouldn't be doing that. That is really nitpicking away. And if
some state decides that you shouldn't do it, they certainly
have the authority to do that. But what if I came up with a
statistic, and I could prove that eating in a car causes more
accidents and using your cell phone? I say so on and on
reckless driving people who cause accidents, they're liable
and responsible and shouldn't be punished for this. But this idea
that the federal government's gonna write a rule about when
we're going to use cell phones, and then force them maybe to buy
a certain type cellphone in your car. That's more government than
we need. And one of the reasons why we're in such a mess.
Ron Paul nails it.
The government's gonna worse Yeah, gonna
force you to buy OnStar and amazing
forbid, Ron Paul got to be the president. And of course, we saw
this last week, as one of our producers sent us a note showing
that double now they're double teaming him on the Fox network,
which normally is kind of hot, but in this case, it is not.
Okay. Well, I have two short clips, because now the now
they've changed direction. So now that the news media, which
is so obvious, first of all, Democrats run Fox, you'll see
that in a second, you'll hear that in a second. They don't
know what to do with Ron Paul, because he's going to win Iowa.
He's going to win Iowa because he has an army. He's always some
other reason. Yeah, it's not because people like his ideas.
But you know, his supporters are so fanatical. So now the mean is
he will win Iowa, but it means nothing. That's the mean. I love
it. So here's racial Mad Cow first not
going to win Iowa right now. The polls say that the guy who's
going to win instead, it's not Mitt Romney. It's old Dr. Paul,
he just old Dr. Paul ageist, bitch,
which is amazing, right? I mean, that would change.
So why don't we say, I didn't say the lesbian. Rachel Maddow?
I didn't say that. Why do we have to say old Dr. Paul, I
dislike that.
And it's not Mitt Romney. It's old Dr. Pol. Which is amazing.
Right? I mean, that would change.
By the way, this woman, you know, being the big liberal that
she is and the politically, you know, politically correct type
person to say that is absolutely disgusting. The woman should be
ashamed of herself. Exactly. And
as I said, I didn't say here's the lesbian Rachel Maddow.
There's no reason to do that. He has racial Matt. I said, Mad
Cow. I made fun of her name, but that's good. But yeah, it does
say the old Dr. Paul, it's ageist and it's wrong. And it's
has no place in the news organisation. Oh, I'm sorry.
It's MSNBC. It is not Mitt Romney.
It's old Dr. Paul, which is amazing, right. I mean, that
would change everything in Republican politics that would
change everything in the 2012 race this year. If Ron Paul won
Iowa, right. That would change everything, wouldn't it? No, no,
it wouldn't remember which Republican won Iowa in 2008.
That was this guy. Self help weight loss guru Fox News
personality and the guy who was hosting the latest anti abortion
Jubilee for the Republican candidates in Iowa tonight. Mike
Huckabee
so hurt her take on the angle on the the marching orders and
talking points she's been given from Uber Lords is this credit
the guy by showing the new one whoever won Iowa has ever won
the president that has ever become president. That's that is
now what she's saying. And all the other news networks are
doing it as well. Fox Run by Democrats did it a little
differently with Chris Wallace and respected journalist
three weeks and if we've seen one thing in this campaign so
far, it is so fluid there is not rock solid support for everybody
for anybody except perhaps Ron Paul, who does get his hands
here what then? Well, the Ron Paul people are not going to
like my saying this but to a certain degree it will discredit
the Iowa caucuses because
then it's just no good. If he wins, then it just discredited
it was no good to see you.
It's unbelievable, then the caucus
is just no good at this sucks.
Well, as one of our producers sentence, they noticed that Sean
Hannity teamed up with BILL BENNETT on his show to trash Ron
Paul began to have to now and then also O'Reilly teamed up
with that what that consult Dick Morris to trash Ron Paul in much
the same way. And it's just like they're there. They are totally
freaked out about this guy because they have no control
over it because this is not he's not part of the system. He's not
part of the mechanism. They view exactly. They have no control
over them. The whoever it is that's calling the shots at
MSNBC and Fox, disgusting. You know, the funny thing is, is I
also listened to the radio talkers and and the guy who's
completely all
called this jockeys, radio talkers is a human disc jockeys.
Now they should be discharged. So you know, we already know
that rush limbaugh hates Ron Paul, but he does it in kind of
as kind way of he hasn't got a chance. He doesn't get on his
case too much. But the guy who does is this the world the great
one, they get that Hannity calls him he calls himself the great
one. Mark Levin. Sounds like you screenshot and Mark lemon and
grey why? And so Mark Levin goes on Ron Paul's nav. And he says
day one says I disagree with his foreign policy goes on and on
and on about this. And then he spends a good segment, I had to
actually turn it off and go to NPR because I couldn't take it.
He's going on and on about how great the Patriot Act is. It's
great. It's the greatest thing ever. And somebody would call in
and say the Patriot Act is a piece of shit. And why what's
present mainly about it. And a badger them or bully in the
sense of the meme. Anyway, these guys are running scared. The
public actually vice killed Jr. Are you eating? No, buzzkill Jr.
as he points down his fork? Oh, yeah. Okay.
That's Bill Jr. as getting it and I think other people are
doing this getting their friends to register as Republicans and
vote for Ron Paul. Yes. You know,
he's a he's a fanatic. Buzzkill. He's part of the army. He's a
kook.
The Kook is it,
send them to the FEMA camp. got ready.
Is going to just I don't know. I mean, this is getting to be
funnier by the minute. But to watch these people, Patrick.
Nobody even gives them any credit for anything is. I find
that all of his ideas are very refreshing. Yes.
I saw Andrew Sullivan who's Yeah, Sullivan came out for him.
And he said to go Well, I disagree with all his kooky
ideas, but it's still the
key ideas,
ending the Fed which by the way, he has not said and the Fed. He
said no, we have to audit them. We have to rein in the we have
to have oversight. He said you can't just even Ron Paul is not
he's not stupid. He said that. You can't just remove him but
this is this is people just as cookie, just kooky and old an
old old roll Doctor pa he's just Kook not your PA Doctor PA. So
this was a very interesting little tidbit that came this is
it's time for a little bit of
sciences.
So you were the first one that alerted the no agenda family to
what you call the Berkeley Hummer. Let's take a listen to
one of your clips from back then this of course is taken from the
show notes at n a show notes.com And here we go.
Among many other things. She joined the times from the Wall
Street Journal in 1997 Jill Abramson, congratulations and
welcome.
Thank you so much, Jim. First,
just on on the personal level, what does it mean to you to
become the executive editor of the New York Times?
It means the world to me A I grew up here in Manhattan and
the New York Times was workshopped in my family and
what the time said was true was the truth. And so I became an
avid reader of the paper as a young school CAD.
So this actually makes my penis invert when I do that. So I'm
not sure. So this has a, this has a technical term. It's
called
vocal fry. Yeah, I ran into this article too. I was too because
people sent it in saying, hey, there is such a thing as a
technical Hummer.
Yeah, vocal fry or globalisation is a low staccato vibration
during speech produced by a low fluttering of the vocal cords.
And then it says, Listen here, click on the link for Listen
here,
fries, the lowest of the voice registers. If you let your voice
slide down the scale to the lowest pitches, you can hear the
creek it sounds like this.
Ah. Since the 1960s vocal fry has been recognised as the
lowest of the three vocal registers, which also includes
falsetto and modal and the usual speaking register, speakers
creak differently according to their gender, although whether
it is more common males or females varies among languages
and American English anecdotal reports suggest that the
behaviour is much more common in women. Historically continues of
vocal fry was classified as part of a voice disorder that was
believed to lead to vocal cord damage over recent years,
researchers have noted occasional use of the creek and
speakers with normal voice quality it turns out it is a
part of being part of a group researchers plan to test
students in high schools and middle schools to learn while
you why well listen why young men and women Creek when they
speak quote, young students tend to use it when they get
together. Maybe this is a social link between members of a group
it's like dolphins John it's like you know they Yeah. So if
you want to be a member of the of the group, you got to talk
like that. You have to go down into your vocal frog otherwise
you're not part so if you want to be successful in journalism,
they if you talk to anyone you have to get a little more into
the law or
like the you know, the kind of the stereotypical gay banter you
know, that voice that you hear that you say, Oh, this guy's gay
because he's because he hangs out with you know, a lot of
girlfriends?
I don't think so honey, like that.
Now, this is more exaggerated if you wanted to have fun with it.
So
while I was trying to be true to what it is,
yeah, it was things mill us will create Yes, like the bird
studies that were done in, in the Berkeley area met.
Interestingly enough, they studied a bunch of of Sparrows
for years. And they found that sparrows, even though they just
sound like a chirping all the time, they're actually they have
a distinctive chirp. Based on the meal, you have the bird. And
so if you take a bird from like, somewhere north in the North
Bay, and you bring him into Berkeley, and throw him in with
Berkeley sparrows, they roust him because he doesn't have the
chirp pattern they're looking for? Well, on this again, Emile
use theory where you have, you know, people within a group,
it's like when I was working for the air pollution district, and
hanging out with a bunch of cops. I was picking up body cop
body language and where I was being perceived as a policeman,
which was amusing when he went to a bar. But anyway, the this
Berkeley's sound, I want to credit my wife for spotting it
because she spotted it. That's right. And he mean, it's fun
years ago, and I wrote a column and the examiner about it called
the Berkeley Hummer. And which didn't get any play at all. Is
that article still available somewhere? Well, the examiner
was bought by the Chronicle and I don't make him a connoisseur I
should probably find and rebrand Rue Homer,
John C. DeVore. You don't
have to find it. Be on this computer and then reprinted on
the blog. But it's an old old column and I've always used it
because every time I hear a Berkeley Hummer, I go oh my god,
another one. I see. You I read this article. I didn't realise
that it was a you know, a worldwide phenomenon. Hmm, it's
like valley girl talk. That's another one where you have that
totally, totally.
Totally is cool. I interviewed a guy for the big book show. He
did the the holiday Book of Awesome. And we had this
interesting conversation about the word awesome. He says yeah,
everyone uses word awesome for everything. It's not awesome.
Nothing is awesome. But his whole book is about how, finding
that first bottle of eggnog in the supermarket shelf, that's
awesome. You know, so he kind of takes it the other direction.
But that's another one of those words, if you had another one of
those themes, like it's awesome, it's awesome. It's and I got to
watch it because you know, Mickey sometimes says that and
I'm like, really? How awesome is it? Like, exit backslash, no
agenda mode, stop, do not do that. Bad for six life do not
add a robot, a robot a bed for robot. But what's disconcerting?
Because there may be more to this and we have to keep an eye
on it. They've done some research. Apparently popular
music stations feature creaky announcers aware vocal fry does
not appear on National Public Radio. So it may be some kind of
thing that appeals, you know, deep in the DNA of young people.
So I think you should all start talking to my daughter say, Hey,
how you doing? And see if she listens better? You should try
it with JC and Jay. She's like, hey, maybe you should clean up
your room. You can't even do it. By the way, Obama
does it when you do it. You get the humming sound that I think
is better. But Obama.
Who does this? President Obama does this all the time? He's a
little Hummer.
It could be if he's a little. Yeah, that's what he's been.
I've
heard that. Yeah, that's what she said.
I'm gonna show my school by donating to no agenda. Imagine
all the people who could do that. Oh, yeah, that'd be fun
curiously, we got a lot of people who joined us in this
effort. This week newbies, and we're starting off with a few of
them. I think they're newbies.
Looks like newbies.
That's not as newbies so let's see who we have for our helpers
in Fairfax Virginia Ryan
Santos helpers with his dad I helpers
are helpers they're helping supporting pay the bills Ryan
couture I want if he's related to Paul in the morning, longtime
listener second time don't I use a second time how can we came up
with green? It's been over a year so when I was probably the
reasons over a year since my first donation so I figured it's
time to be a donor, not a boner and contribute. I'd be listening
to the show as I begin my housing search and get my nation
Big Sky, which means he must be in Montana. And it can use a
little karma that the search relocation the new job goes
smoothly. My initial search turned up a house with the
address 3333 and I took it as a sign of maybe one of the prices
right
you've got karma perfect
and he gave us $124.07 Thomas check hold on hold. That's
the most uninteresting number ever.
A one to 407 is the most uninteresting number ever.
I forgot to set up a donation link and most uninteresting
donation.
I'll do it. I'm going to do it with 2365 thing. I'll put it up
this week. Probably tomorrow. All right. Tom scheck lumbo,
Ohio 1111111. longtime listener addicted to the after the first
show first time donor was the first time that my birthday in a
no agenda show coincides December 15. I decided to send
out a donation get some karma in a birthday call out. I've been
trying to think of something clever to say but my clever
circuit seems to be burned out. But I do have something you
should think about. Jesus was pretty much ignored by the
powers that be until he went after the money changers, aka
the bankers in the synagogues, synagogues, which got him
crucified. The biblical version of TuTiTu they had an
interesting i By the way, I read this the other day, and I use
this I was at a couple of Christmas parties just say use
this line about Jesus going after the bankers. Huge laughs
It gets laughs It's
a good night. It gets a laughs Yeah, so
Tom Shanks gets laughs Well, here's sorry. Karma. What do you
want?
You've got karma.
I'll remember to use that at the cocktail party tonight. Hey, you
have to Jesus went after the bankers they they nailed his as
to across
well, your delivery could do some work anonymous and
Middlesboro. Cleveland anonymous police from Gitmo nation three
legs. Many thanks for the show. We'd love you both love you too.
I guess he's got a mouse in his pocket in front 100 Love you Dr.

Fort Jefferson, New York and
what is it? What is that? Bosco Jr. Want to make sure we get it
right for him.
Well, what you're getting that from him? I'll tell you it says
Steve's donating $75 To tell John he was totally wrong. And
that last week's passion play ranked among the greatest of all
time.
That was our curry Devorah consultancy. Oh, cool. I like
that. Well, thank you. See when I do some money can
come in yeah yeah good work yeah baby I'm easily pleased huh But
Adams master slide project you're proved endless in
Musement I agree completely with the both of you regarding the
legal enforcement of political correctness beginning with
bullying but never ending do we need to be feel as I do that we
need to enforce the current laws that we have even in schools.
That means if a 17 year old punches a 16 year old in the
notes or looking at his girlfriend that he gets arrested
for assault, I just think it would be a consistent stand I I
don't think that either of you believe in a Lord of the Flies
school.
What if you can't assault and battery there's laws against
that saying yeah, yeah, so of course we agree that
that we get doctrine in injures natural no buzzkill is
too busy practising is
humming you fell asleep
in front of the mirror? Maybe I can do this and they want to be
is Dr. Ninja?
So okay, my spreadsheet has just gone crazy. Okay, here we go.
Ray Jacobson in Ashland, Virginia 7495 Is my refund for

some money left in your pay pal counts out there you know the
years ending up is a good time to cancel the account and just
empty the account in their favour and
cancel it just empty it out. empty it out. You can empty it
shouldn't be anything
in it. Sir Michael Miller and Tiburon believe $67 is the going
rate for Carmike could use some for a massive work project he

kind of karma did I want asked him what kind of karma one and
I'd really didn't care. Well, I got bad karma. The first clue
should have been when Adam read my last name wrong for the
credit Rayleigh instead of Rowley. August 27 was my
birthday and only one person showed up for my birthday party

rescheduled my birthday party for October 1 And it's September

places that we plan on going to so I had to bail out earlier

to be working here. Don't say that sounds like bullshit to me.
Don't do that in an interview. Do you have any
more handy tips John, that's a handy tip. John's handy job
interview tip.
Torii hunter in Paducah, Kentucky $50 is from Lone
squirrel and squirrel. Yeah, liked is donated to be credited

pretty sure that's the kind of guy he is. Here's the karma for
Rhino the bearded or the beard listening.
Karma.
Yeah. And finally, normally the 4999 is we don't put their death
for anonymous, but this anonymous person wanted to bones
grow grown stories in the news lately I'm submitting my first
donation I've only been listed for a few weeks probably not fit
the profile of your standard audience. But safe to say the
whole family now seems to enjoy yours. Do you do fit that
profile? They will the whole family enjoys it while listening
in the kitchen. When I first started listening. I didn't
understand the whole douchebag Karma drone thing. I can say
that drone thing I'm getting now in the douchebag karma thing are
almost not so not annoying anymore. Less commentary on
women's appearances would be appreciated. Are we getting the
Adams gonna explain why we do that. She's probably
a girl as he's probably very hot. That's why
I really don't care who is hot and who isn't being asked. I can
understand your interest as well as your male audience. Wine and
Food rock by the way. You Anyway, great commentary and
light hearted approach to the impending doom you're almost up
there now it's cold bear in my must have laughs to get me
through the insanity. Thanks a million?
Well, let me just say again, I, okay once in a while I fall off
the waggon. But in general, we're only talking as TV
executives who've been in the business for three to four
decades.
And as a virtual TV executive and a consultant. That is what
we're doing. Now that said, I will mention the, oh, well go on
No, think of it the quote in a minute. Quote, you had all of
her wild, sorry. And all of her wild quote comes to mind, which
is that only a fool doesn't judge a person by their
appearance. And so there's some elements of that, you know, when
you see somebody, is there certain things you'd like to
take it? Google the executive, the CEO of Exxon, and didn't
tell me what you think that's a classic but, but we do it
because we're, we're pretending to be broadcasting executives,
trying to cast shows. And so we get various, and most of these
people are extremely, their extreme with their opinions
about women's appearances, admits to the bullying degree,
to a total bullying degree. And that's all you're crapping out,
meaning the unattractive.
So all I'm doing is following orders. If you see something,
say something,
if I see something, I gotta say something. So I want to thank
everybody on this list and hope that you can help us by going to
detroit.org/nhl to work.com/na no agenda nation.com Hit the
donate button. Also. No agenda show.com where you can listen to
the show and hit the donation button and help us out. Yeah,
and by the way, the mugs are in at the I saw that the mugs are
in and apparently there is the
what is this? What is this bull crap? I mean, bull crap. The the
you can pre order the replica prediction book.
I don't I think it's just a blank. It's a blank book.
It's just the Red Book. Yeah. Red Book. Wait a minute. Let me
let me look at this page. What is Eric doing? off the
reservation again here? Little Red prediction, embossed crimson
red leather hardcover book with 200 pages to jot down
predictions or a manifesto why doesn't have no agenda on it.
Eric That's lane.
Well, he can get a rubber stamp and stamp it on.
Yeah, or just with a crayon or something. manifesto.
I guess we need a manifesto so all of our listeners do their
own manifesto comes with free go great when they when they when
they come to get Yeah. This
comes with free brand new Facebook profile. Really, okay,
well, whatever. Got a first of all, a special karma. Shout out
to Mr. Oil. who just got married by the way. send pictures oil.
We want to we want to see your girl and he's trying to get home
for the holidays himself. And he's really bummed that he's
missing her. So Mr. Oil of course, a longtime supporter of
the show definitely gets a little karma there.
You've got karma. And I got
a note here from search Jason Brodzinski. Hey, Adam and John.
I was listening to Episode 364 was very surprised to hear John
mentioned I had donated drunk, hoping to get karma for myself
and not getting any for 14 months. This was not me. Yes, I
am a college student studying for a degree in environmental
sciences, but have not been drunk for the last month due to
study for finals. I don't drink Coors Light. I don't know anyone
named Sam that is coming out of a breakup. The story is
completely bogus live. I believe that a douchebag call out should
be go out to either the person that attempted to send a note in
his meat or John for saying that it was me that donated also I
donated 6969 Anyway, hopefully this matter can be resolved. The
Great White Knights are chasing Rozycki Well, now we're totally
going to douchebags whoever was responsible that was me I was
responsible. You douchebag me think you might have been
responsible John? Well,
I got to 1616 Yeah, I was and I we looked into this at the at
the headquarters headquarters and investigative team was put
on it. And they found out that I had read the wrong it was two
shows ago by the way it was on 63 Oh, I had read. I looked at
the jump to the names and I read the wrong I attributed to him
for some unknown reason to this to this complaint, the unknown
drunkard so the drunk complaint and luckily the drunk never
noticed.
The drug is like Wow, I wonder who wrote that. Who's I miss?
Sounds familiar. He has the same friends. I do. It's
Tom scheck congratulates himself for his birthdays today along
with Paul house. That's Paul the book guy also celebrating his
birthday today of the 15th Ray Jacobson wants to say happy

A trying to appeal to the younger demographic by
devore.org/a
it makes everyone sound like Kissinger.
So Haiti in the news.
Oh yes,
good, is it we're heating it up the holiday I guess. They've
been building the Marriott hotel there and everything. This is
still the 700,000 people swimming in their own poop. But
luckily Kim Kardashian visits Haiti for charity. She's
reportedly on a charity mission to help those in need stars in
the country with Maria bellows charity we advance which aims to
advance the health safety and well being of women throughout
Haiti. The organisation works in some of the poorest slums in
Haiti, including the wharf, Jeremy and some cities to lay,
she connected with Maria Bello and is there with the Reus
Foundation also with her mom, that that that publicity whore
this is all the People Magazine, of course. Now, you know that
her father instilled in her and her siblings, every little bit
counts. She's always trying to do as much as she can, whether
privately or publicly, which of course is much better for
ratings of the show. Thank you very much, Kim and Chris, and
Oprah, also making a charity trip to Haiti. She's been in
Haiti this week, visiting some of the efforts being made to
help the earthquake ravaged country as the second
anniversary of disaster approaches, and the money still
is not there or stolen by the Clinton Foundation. The talk
show Queen visited refugees with Sean Penn on Monday saying this
is a part of the next chapter going around the world to see
interesting and fascinating cases of profound examples of
what can be done to make a difference in the world. Of
course, she dined with Haitian President Michael Sweet Mickey
Martelly, during a trip and visited several charity
ventures, including Caribbean craft, a business that was
established through a loan scheme launched by Bill Clinton
where they make baskets, yeah, we want to put those those
little HAITIANS TO WORK weaving baskets. A quote from Oprah,
everybody knows or spend time in Haiti knows how important it is
for the world to see what's going on here.
We really appreciate what Yeah, important basket weaving,
basket weaving very, very important Marriott Hotel, brand
new hotel and Clinton Boulevard there. And Bill and Lucifer will
be sharing the top floor of suites. The bill can't get it up
anymore, but Lucifer will be there with Huma after the baby's
born and the great thing. So congratulations on screwing that
country out of their money out of their homes. And now all the
celebrities are there to go and celebrate all the great work
that we've done. Makes you want to puke. Just makes you want to
puke.
Most people feel good about it. So looking at the New York
Times,
oh, this is there now a question for you. I believe. Well, now,
here's the question. Is there anything about Syria in it
up now? Okay, I just got it. So I'm at the open will patient
nope, nope, no. Why don't you take a look because I want to
there's only the front section.
Well, I have a little clippy
Hello on Hold on. Let me go over a little clippy here. I'm not
seeing anything. And I'm on page 13. Well, we got the zombie not
here it is. It's on page 13 Syrian Army defectors ambush
soldiers page. Well, you know the fault, page 13.
So it's very obvious. Now what were you saying? Again, the we
did a deal with Exxon. With the Russians,
Russia's Putin did a deal with Exxon and it had something to do
with Syria and Syria was part of the deal somehow.
Well, it's when you listen to this quote from now this is a
dick cheney the zombie. And he is his arm because he has no
heartbeat. He has a pump to keep it moving.
Yeah. And he looks like a zombie, which makes it even more
obvious.
Absolutely. To first Erin Burnett asks him about the
drone, where he is answer. There's Hi, Mama should have
gone in, whack the drone out. And then she immediately comes
in because this is you know, Iran and then straight into
Syria. And from Cheney's answer, there is no way we are going
into Syria.
They're going to respond by not giving it back to us. I would
assume I would
assume that's the case. So they'll send it back and pieces
after they've gotten all of the intelligence they can out of it.
The right response to that would have been to go in immediately
after it's gone down and destroy it. You can do that from the
air, you can do that with a quick airstrike, I can do that
with my zombie forces, and in effect, making it impossible for
them to benefit from having captured captured that drone. I
was told that the President had three options on his desk,
he rejected all of them. And they all involved, they all
involve
sending somebody in, you know, to try to recover it. Or if you
can't do that, and admittedly, that'd be a difficult operation.
You certainly could have gone in or distorted on the ground with
an airstrike
and another drone to go kill the drone. It's exactly what we do.
But he didn't take into the options, he asked nicely for
them to return it. And they aren't going to do
that. Should the United States now be intervening in Syria?
Well,
I think Bashir Assad is a bad actor without question.
You know, that's why we didn't cast him originally. He does.
He's so bad as he came remembers why
we don't need it
bad actor,
I think what we ought to do is try to support the efforts that
are underway by the Arab League. And one of the intriguing
developments, there has been that a lot of the nations in the
in the region have have turned on Assad. So the Saudis as well
as a lot of the Gulf states, have gotten much, much tougher
with the Syrians call on them to stop killing their people. And I
think we ought to work through that effort and try to support
and channel those efforts to see if we can get rid of Saddam
Hussein Saddam there, which is kind of interesting,
but not some sort of a no fly zone or some other kind of,
I'm not I'm not in the loop these days on no writing on the
intelligence out there, but I'm not I think we definitely had to
come down on the side of replacing Assad if supporting
those who want to change the regime. And clearly, an awful
lot of Syrians do because they've been in the streets.
So you know, that Cheney, of course, has got all his oil
assets there. He's like, No, we're not going to do that. And
we're not gonna blow anything up. We're not gonna do any no
fly zone, and we get rid of the bad acting thing here. bad
actor, we just got to do it into casting.
I think it's interesting that he mentioned he had these drone
alternatives, which brings what we suggested a couple of shows
ago, which is the drone was dropped there as a Trojan horse.
Yeah, he left. Yeah, the wheels down.
We'll take a look at this. This is really good technology. Yeah,
there's no cameras, there's no hidden stuff and
get out. You're gonna like it. Is
it is totally the Trojan. Why no one takes that angle. Why no one
says Trojan horse
and why are the wheels down? We're gonna have a crash landing
here. We're
gonna have a whole bunch of soldiers run out of trapdoor in
the belly. Lots coming out. It's like we take us to your leader.
We are good. Yeah, no, I think it totally so right. So right.
So we're listening to the new. NBC has got this new Brian
Williams, whatever it is, is like a 60 minutes. It shows up
in the middle of the week, like last night. And they had they've
hired Ted Koppel. This is actually quite interesting. It
was a whole Lauer so I only got a couple of clips from it. But
they have they had Ted Koppel go to Iraq and go to the green zone
and start looking at some of the crap that's going on there. And
it's like weird because there's footage I've never seen before.
And Capo was getting away with a lot of stuff that none of these
other journalists would do. But let's just play two of these
clips are not very long, but this play the couple, the one
that says Kapil outline. And we get a little feeling that what,
Kapil takes a perspective that we're not really leaving Iraq in
under any circumstances,
estimated 1500 of these contractors have died in Iraq
since 2003. And it's not over. Often, it's those whose names we
don't know the men and women who continue to operate covertly.
The security measures, we can't show you that most eloquently
make the case. The United States is not leaving Iraq. I realise
you can't go into it in any detail, but I would assume that
there is a healthy CIA mission here. I would assume that JSOC
may still be active in this country during special
operations. You've got FBI here, you got the EAA here. Ken, can
you give me sort of a menu of who all falls under your
control?
You're actually doing pretty well were authorised to talk
about half of this stuff
is the head of the mission. So and he won't say anything but
you know, he nails it. Capo seems to be right on top of it.
So so he does another he wraps it up with this. Ted Koppel he I
don't know if if this was approved by by the powers that
be or whatever, but he brings up the old the old issues in this
other clip was just good. It's just like it's a head slapper
military command in Iraq. Did not want the US troops heading
home. The commanding general asked for it 27,000 troops to
stay behind. The fact of the matter is if we're to launch an
attack against the consulate in Basra, you have to be willing to
put your money on the Iraqi government. And if the Iraqi
Government doesn't do it, who else is going to do it? Well, as
you've heard, there are a lot of American troops in that region.
And I would put my quarter on saying they're coming back and
they'll be the ones to evacuate. But we can't pull out of Iraq.
It's too important. Second largest oil reserves in the
world. We used to talk about that nine years ago. I haven't
talked about it much for the last eight and a half. But yes,
to a large extent, it is about the or no,
you don't say Ted love it. So I got the oil da,
I gleaned all this from the President's comments. He had no
he had the, you know, when he declared the war over which by
the way, was declared by presidential decree by George
Bush, when all this should end. This is not like Obama didn't
end anything. This was already determined when the pullout
would take place. That's what she said. The President did a
press conference with the Iraqi Prime Minister, I guess, listen
very, very, very carefully to what he says here.
With respect to the embassy. The actual size of our embassy with
respect to diplomats, is going to be comparable to other
countries that we think are important bull crap.
This place is the size of a convention centre. It's not
comparable to any other place.
Typical the mission like that would be 100 people they got
15,000 around thing is massive in the world.
There are still some special security needs inside of Iraq.
Now listen carefully, then make the overall number larger. Look,
we're we're only a few years removed from an act of war
inside of Iraq. I think it's fair to say that there are still
some groups, although they're greatly weakened, that might be
tempted to target US diplomats or civilians who are working to
improve the performance of the power sector inside of Iraq or
are working to help train agricultural specialists inside
of Iraq for
the bankers who were there to nationalise and buy up the cell
phone companies. Yeah, douchebags who are now running
into the spoils of war. Yes.
And as President United States, I want to make sure that anybody
was at in Iraq, trying to help the Iraqi people is protected.
Now, as this transition proceeds, it may turn out that
the security needs for our diplomats and for our civilians,
gradually reduces itself maybe partly because Iraq continues to
make additional progress. But I think the Iraqi people can
understand that as President United States, if I'm putting
civilians in the field in order to help the Iraqi people build
their economy and improve their productivity. I want to make
sure that they come home because they are not soldiers.
Oh, they're not soldiers.
On this special report with Kapil, they show these people
that work or Secretariat,
soldiers soldiers.
And they're just just to go down the street, they have to have a
convoy of about 14 cars and they're loaded up with a helmets
and flak jackets.
Academy is now Aziz Blackwater changed his name to Z. Of
course, I want to make fun of that another change to Academy
with an eye
Academy wanted just keep Blackwater what is the big deal?
Well, because it's just a new entity, just a new entity. If a
company is outlawed from working, because you know, they
killed civilians on the ground, then you just got to change your
name that she named didn't work, that it was making fun of them.
So now it's just Academy. And of course, Erin Burnett has the CEO
on to talk about this great branding change. Here. We're now
Academy. We're all great. We're Finn we yeah, we're just
awesome.
We're just fantastic, y'all. Fantastic. It's so good. I
have to do with my my segment, John.
And yeah, it's
time it's time, time time once again to play loose. Right now
we have the New York City Edition everybody as you can
also have them circling over your head. It's time once again
for Manhattanites to play.
So you know, I read all the airmen tie It porn. Anything
that says to do with flying and stuff and a no tam came out and
OTA M stands for notice to Airmen, airspace unmanned
aircraft flight level 180 will be flying around from December
1 2011 to February 29. And I'm not going to give you all the
all the coordinates but basically over New York at
18,000 feet over New York City. New York, New York State. New
York City. Connecticut. Watertown
so we're having drones. Yeah. How come this isn't front page
news on the New York Times drones are over the United
States now. Yeah. Now government military drones. Oh, yeah.
That's beautiful.
So there's a new joke now in in a What about all
these planes that the one of the drones is going to run into
something? Oh, yeah,
I know. The pilots are upset because you know, it's not so
basically a notice to Airmen. It's like when there's a crane
and a runway or something which means look out to when we're
going to look
out for a drone it's at
that big Yeah, look out. Look out for the drone while you're
up there while you're flying around. Look out for the drone
18,000 feet is Class A airspace you know, that's the you know, I
could fly in class A airspace. But now, but now you have it
just like it's like a crane in the sky. Just be careful. You
know, when there's firework displays and stuff, they have no
tabs, or when something is closed? Not just hey, just so
you know, there's a thing flying around that with no pilot
onboard. Just be careful.
FYI. It's an FYI. Exactly.
There's a new joke though, in in aviation. And the joke goes
something like this in 10 years. The cockpit will only have one
seat for a pilot and a basket for a dog. You know why the dog
has to bite the pilot if he does anything
good That's right. caught me off guard.
Yeah, that's how it's gonna roll.
So there's one of the senators or congressmen is gonna the
congressman, you have his name on a sheet somewhere but he was
he was given you they have this one hour for everyone to talk
you know that after the Congress congressional sessions
organiser, these guys go down their rants. So he's revisiting
the Fort Hood shooter story, which is like seems to have
gotten off the front page. And he's, he's upset and then of
course, the right wing media picked up on it as you know,
something to complain about with Obama being too politically
correct, which is that they've changed the I have some thoughts
about this. They've changed the definition of what happened in
Fort Hood to just simple workplace violence. Oh,
bullying, bullying, so play the play this clip and you'll get
the gist of it. And then I have some something to say
Mr. Speaker. 13 adults in one arm, unborn child were killed in
31 individuals wounded in the shooting attack at Fort Hood,
Texas on November the fifth 2009. Since that time, the
Department of Defence has taken no steps toward combat benefits
to the casualties, or even officially recognised the attack
as a terrorist incident. This the House and Senate have
included to reform measures in the NDAA which we just pass and
all, all while additional attacks have been attempted by
similar high profile radical Islamic terrorists. In the past,
is past time for the government to deliver on this act. Mr.
Speaker, here we are. Almost three years later, I guess three
years later. And there's been a recent report that has come out.
And in that report, it references this incident of this
slaughter of American troops on Fort Hood soil in Texas, and it
references that it shall be taken up as part of workplace
violence. Obama regime calls for good shooting, workplace
violence calm. Okay,
here's what I'm so when I'm thinking I'm sorry, that gets so
boring. What I'm thinking is that there there's a real,
blatant attempt to take anything that might actually involve the
kind of terrorism we would see overseas based on Islamist
terrorism of any sort. Lord and try not to let that actually
happen here and only thing that would be considered terrorism
would be domestic terrorism while we're you know just random
groups of right wingers against abortions or whatever would be
you know so we have so we can push this domestic terrorism
meme to such an extreme we can continue to up the ante on you
know the military basically running the country or having
military courts or arresting people for domestic terrorism
that aren't that got nothing to do with you know this this is
actually an anomaly we don't need any of these Islam is to be
credited with the terrorism because then it'll change focus
for which and the focus should be on the American public. Wow.
And all of the stuff that we've been reading over the last two
or three years since that Fort Hood thing has been focused on
turning the American public into into a giant group of criminals
Wow everything's thing Yeah, everything is upside down.
It's upside down
exactly whoa Wow, that's sad. Oh, by the way, I just got a
picture of Mr. Oil his wedding picture yeah. Oh my god. What?
Oh, his wife will send
me the picture.
Oh my god.
She is smoking
like you're gonna get another letter close
it No, I can
say this. Not only what is that go away. I had I'm doing a show
here. Good. She is beautiful. And Mr. Oil. He could not have a
more Russian head on his shoulders. Take a look I just
emailed to you. Okay, married on December 5. Oh my goodness. She
is beautiful. I you know if this is the girl we need on Russia
today. This is the one
which should be good we've never done it does look like a risky
but look look at the showy look at her look at her is when she
perfect. Wouldn't you be perfect for Russia today?
You might be too good looking for Russia today.
Oh my goodness. Look at where this is our listener. Mr. Oil.
Yeah, well, I'd rather have Zoey listening
somehow I think he protects himself from I'm not listening
I'm just listening to some music on my iPod I'm not sure anything
no that word I'm not nothing like that at all. No, no. All
right coming up as
well. Before we go on with that I want to mention that stuff we
do listen to for the listeners out there is the you know the C
span stuff I want to play they took the classic stuff that's
constantly being done on the one of the C span networks a play
house business is what we listen to all day.
The chair lays before the house the following personal request
leave of absence requested for Mr. Diaz, Florida, Florida for
today. And through Friday, December 16. Without objection,
the request is granted. Oh yeah.
No, I love those at the beginning was on board and some
of it's like, you know, he has jury duty or you know, there's
all kinds of reasons that they can't show up. I know, I know.
We sit there and we watch it. Like Like, we're the drones. I
just I got one final thing we haven't talked about this. This
shooter in Liege.
In Belgium
which I'm gonna tell you right now this was a false flag. Now I
immediately reached out to Baron von Pels. mockers because it, of
course is his barony. And I tell you I didn't hear from to two
days from the Baron I gotta worry because I think he might
even be around that area my arm I'll please don't tell me that
he was like shopping or something. But this thing reeks
of of crazy, you know, just like the the Oslo bombing and
shooting and, and Baron von Pels. mockers who is, you know,
is a very he's got a solid square head on his shoulders.
He's in the I know a little bit more about him than I can tell
you. But, you know, he's a he's just a proud former citizen now
royalty of Belgium. And he says, No, this is exactly what we
needed. Got the new government coming in. We had all the slaves
to listen up and be very afraid. This is exactly what we needed.
timing was perfect. He says, of course there's no agenda guy.
That's why he's saying these things. But listen to this. This
attacker had been let go after he had been found several years
previous with nine and a half 1000 gun parts in 2008. He had
multiple firearms. And and the the authorities actually let him
go and police weren't allowed to question him because that would
be harassment. If this is such an inside false flag job is not
funny, as of the fact that he liked
the idea of deployed least get a question. It could be a Rasta,
right? That's exactly what
it is. He's also 33 years old. So now I'm just saying you get
the magic numbers. That's the magic number. The magic number.
So we have that final clip coming up from, which, again, is
stuff that we do for you hours and hours of C span. And it's,
by the way, the C span software, it's free to use, there's no
copyright or royalties, as long as it's of the government and
not their self produced shows. You know, any news organisation
could do what we do. Right? And they can use the clips.
Yeah, they can use the clips. In fact, you even have a download
broadcast quality link right there. Now you can use the
clips, whatever you want to do, they don't do any of that. So
this is the only place you can get that. And please remember us
when you're looking at your Pay Pal and they are just see that
little donate button you think hey.org/n
A
and am I continuing quest to prove that the obsessive over
use of the word vagina in mainstream media, unfunny
sitcoms, is to promote an agenda. I think we're getting
very, very close. Pfizer, of course, one of the biggest
advertisers, they now have the web commercials. So it's only a
minute, just just a little bit of time before we see this on
television, people are now being conditioned the word vagina is
not only is it good, it's hilarious, apparently. But at
least it's now an accepted word. And with the target audience,
John of of the typical television audience, what is the
age range,
these 15? Now seriously,
they typically depends on different demos on TV, but 18 to
24, as one group is also the 24 to five, I guess. But here were
the medical companies going after all the medical companies
are going well. On those old people. Bang, there's a there's
an older demo that the medical debt you've you've been, by the
way people out there when you're watching a show and a commercial
comes on that commercial. And he likes to show you like that
commercial is designed for you and your group. So look at
yourself look within and if the commercials for like, you know,
hemorrhoid ointment or something you know that you'd maybe want
to hang out with a younger crowd, you might want to watch
some other shows.
Well, you're absolutely right. And this is the target group.
I didn't even tell my husband, but you can't hide something
like that. He would go to the drugstore, not not discussing it
or anything. But he would go to the drugstore and buy an over
cat over the counter product. Oh, I heard about this. I saw
the commercial about this. It's a funny thing that women don't
what are we talking about?
I don't know. I would think is hinting at condoms or blue
pills. I have no idea. I mean, it's just I'm dying because I'm
an older listener. And I'm going oh, no, here column one. Here
comes
talk about vaginal dryness.
There's a new vaccine.
I swear to God, they're they're pushing oestrogen on women now.
Literally, if you go to the website
what is it? Oh my god. It's so funny. It's
the Pfizer website. I gotta look it up again. They are saying and
I just gotta find this for you. Here it is. The website is
personal menopause. answers.com. Remember that, unlike other
symptoms of menopause, vaginal symptoms can make intercourse
painful, may not go away on their own and left untreated
they could get worse. Now of course, you may have already
tried some of the vaginal gels and liquids they can be
purchased without prescription and are used prior to sex to
offer temporary relief of vaginal dryness, but they're
designed to lessen symptoms rather than true treat root
causes of the pain. Instead, you need medical options, hormone
therapy, which require prescription from your
healthcare professional. Prescription treatments can
replenish oestrogen to the vagina helping rebuild the
tissue that creates vaginal lubrication.
I give her some advice. Get Suzanne Somers out there to push
this stuff. She was the one who started off the whole you know
hormone replacement thing for women and she's old enough
but it makes so much sense you know we've got guys who can't
get it up so you got to have Viagra and then women are like
oh now that it's up but this shit hurts man get get get that
stuff out of here. Get something out of here isn't hurts.
This commercial is great, but they talk about hot flashes.
And by the way, you need some way aggro and you see this
actress? Well, because
she worked okay. Listening
had a hot flash. I didn't think that I was going through
menopause
with the prescription treatment.
I know I'm a Hummer Hummer, exactly Homer exactly
when to use it, and how often to use it. And by following the
directions and instructions from my doctor, when we get into the
moment, to make love beer into the moment without any
interruptions.
If I had the opportunity to tell women who were suffering through
the same symptoms
to use a hammer to by the way, she's a light hammer that I
did. I would say don't wait. Don't go through what I did. Go
to your doctor. Ask him what's best for you. But there is no
sense in letting go thinking it's gonna get better.
Better, better, it could stretch out and stretch out a little bit
make them more obvious. But you're right. They're both
Homers. It's unbelievably
so you watch this is going to be on television, vaginal dryness.
That's where it's headed. That was what I was waiting for.
Okay,
well, you didn't you had you had the wrong product. But the
right, you, I'll give you a tip. I give you a full prediction.
Follow up. I check mark you gank in. Thank you.
Thank you. I appreciate that. All right, our two final clips
today. We have we're going to do one after another. First is the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission hearing and that will be
followed by Maynard, our buddy there who works for a real radio
for actual he actually gets paid by a boss in Australia to which
sounds like a bum deal by the way the mayor is gonna get fired
one of these days you know that right? He's gonna slip in
something wrong. It's gonna be
a be it'll be over. Get work. He's got a good voice.
So he's interviewing us. Oh, yeah. Sir Thomas of Virginia.
We've been to several no agenda to but no agenda Hot Pockets
toward meetups. That will be followed by the hearing. I set
this up first, John.
Yeah, this is the hearing that we heard earlier in the show.
This is the bit that I thought was the funniest. And it was and
it's representative Labrador. It has a dog like look to him, by
the way from Idaho who just he just goes after this guy. And it
is I think is what it's very good introduces why C span can
be entertaining. This is brutal.
Hearing no objections, I'll assume they'll be delivered to
us. With that we recognise the gentleman from Idaho, Mr.
Labrador for five minutes.
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I especially want to welcome Mr.
Magwood, Commissioner Magwood, who worked diligently at Idaho
National Laboratory. And I believe commissioners for
Nikki's work for one of our senators. So thank you for being
here. This has been truly one of the most frustrating hearings
I've ever participated in. Because I've never seen such
self deluded behaviour by any individual and probably my
entire life. The lack of awareness of what's happening
here in the commission is truly as outstanding astounding to me
to watch an individual just sit here and say that the only thing
he is responsible for, and he's sorry about is the distraction
that has been caused by your behaviour. It's truly just
embarrassing just to watch you this entire time that I've been
here. So let's really just get down to to what's happening
here. You believe and you did not answer this question when my
good colleague over here asked you the question, but you
believe that you are more passionate than the other four
individuals sitting here about nuclear safety? Is that not
true? Well, I, I chose to answer the question yes or no. You can
say yes, you can say no. Are you more passionate? Are you less
passionate? Or are you equally passionate? It's a simple
question.
My my voting record, I think, shows that I have taken
positions on safe so you're more passionate?
Is that what you believe? I would say my my position you
also believe that you have better judgement than these four
individuals. Is that not true?
I believe that I
have yes or no simple question.
I believe I have very good judgement, as I say, and your
judgement
is better than the four individuals here combined. Isn't
that true? According to your own opinion, it's up to others to
determine No, it's up to you because you're the one who's
making the decisions that is making their life a living hell.
So you tell me, do you have more passion? Do you have better
judgement? Yes or No, I feel very strongly that I have an
appropriate judgement and so you have better judgement than the
other four individuals that are sitting here correct cording to
you,
Congressman, as I said many times I I am not at
You're not going to answer the question when it's clearly from
your statements from your actions that you believe that
your judgement and your passion surpasses the four of them
combined. So your distraction that it's been causing. It's
interesting me, I have managed to an organisation, I had a law
firm for a while now I have to manage my law firm, my
congressional office, your management style, is bringing
some problems that are that are being brought here to the fore,
and you're saying that you're willing to work with them. But
you're not willing to admit that you have done anything wrong.
That's what I cannot understand. The only way you're going to be
able to work with these individuals and actually change
your management style is by admitting that you actually
screwed up that you actually did something wrong. Are you not
willing to admit that there's something in your management
style that has brought us to a congressional hearing that is
unprecedented in American history?
Well, Congressman, I take his yes or no for this agency. And
as I've indicated, I'm willing to discuss these issues with my
colleagues and figure out how we can better communicate. So
you haven't done anything wrong. What are you going to discuss
that they're wrong? And you're right, correct.
I would like to discuss these communication issues and some of
the myths have you done
anything wrong in your management of this agency?
Congressman, as I said, I take full responsibility for what for
this organisation and know
for what in your behaviour are you taking responsibility for?
And Just name one thing, just one thing, that you admit that
you have done wrong, because I don't believe that these four
individuals would come here? If you haven't done a single thing
wrong, Just name one thing that you have done wrong?
Well, Congressman, as I said, I, I'm very passionate about
safety. And so it's wrong
for you have to be passionate about safety. So what you're
telling the American people right now, Congressman, is that
wrong to be passionate about safety, and they're not
passionate about safety? Right?
Content, as I said, I am very passionate about safety. And if
that's ever been misconstrued by my colleagues, that's something
I'd like so
what in your passion in your passionate statements was wrong?
That would bring us to a moment that we have to have these four
individuals, these four commissioners have dedicated
their entire life, to the public safety of our nation? What in
your behaviour is wrong? Just name one thing? That's all I'm
asking. I can name 20 things that I have done wrong in my
life. If somebody asked me that question, you can't name one
thing?
Well, Congressman, as indicated, it's a conversation I think I'd
like to have with my colleagues to better understand that it's
ridiculous.
Your answers today have been totally ridiculous, because
there's no way that these individuals who have the same
passion, the same commitment to the Nook to the safety of the
United States would be sitting here complaining about you
complaining about the staff unless you had done something
wrong. And it's absolutely ridiculous for us to think that,
under any circumstance, you're going to change our behaviour
because you're not even willing to admit that you did one thing
wrong. That's just incredulous to anybody who's who's watching
this this meeting. Mr. Chairman, I've run out of time. I think
the gentleman don't have to see.
Thomas whereabouts you're from what great study from Kansas.
How did you find out about no agenda?
I was a longtime listener of DeVore, ack follower. All of his
magazine editorials and stuff like that. He mentioned it a
couple of times and I didn't make a connection to Adam curry.
And then after I heard him and looked him up, I was like, oh,
Adam curry from MTV and immediately got hooked.
Are there many people in Kansas you know that listen to no
agenda?
No, not at all. Currently in Virginia Beach, travelled the
world in the Navy. You haven't been back to Kansas since
as being an ex servicemen. There's no agenda. I have a
different tone for you being someone who's been in the
service. Oh, definitely.
I worked with electronic warfare while I was in the military. And
a lot of the stuff Adam talks about I love hearing his his
view on harp and several other things.
What is your favourite part of the show? You're more into the
second part of the show.
I just love it when Adam and John get way off on a tangent.
They're speaking their what their their true thoughts are
rather than their kind of what they think they need for the
show.
You gotta love the pit pave. No, I love it. Love it. And once you
decide to become a knight, what made you think I better be into
this?
I just love the whole idea of no commercials, their own business
model. They have very strong opinions and they stand behind
them. I'm just a single night and then after that, Nicole, my
girlfriend became a saint.
I seem to remember that she did something really special, didn't
she? Both her and I have
been to both the first and the last meeting of the Hot Pockets
tour. The first st was also named Nicole Oh, and she worked
in the health profession. And so that was my girlfriend. So I was
like, Hey Adam, we're gonna make Nicola St. And he was like,
let's do it.
Now we're talking. You're the first night I've spoken to
that's been to one of the meetups of any sort. What's it
like? What's the atmosphere like as curry enters the room,
everybody was sitting down eating seafood and just talking
and we went around the room and met everybody met Adam and
Mickey. And it was just a wonderful time everybody had
their own take on so many different ideas and opinions.
The person that picked up Adam from the airport was a Marine so
him and I had kind of the military background he was just
so nice to everybody was so friendly. Was there a certain
commonality? You said there's a lot of diversity in the no
agenda listenership? Was there a commonality of there was one
thing that the main reason they were all there,
not really, it seemed that we kind of came from like every
aspect of life from you know, common workers and industrial
people to technological people. I think maybe no agenda was the
only thing that really drew us all together.
A lot of respect for other people's opinions, because as I
talked to all the Knights here, not everyone agrees with
everything they hear on the show, but they just want to hear
different opinions on a multitude of subjects.
Yeah, that's that's that's one of the things is when you're
listening to no agenda. I think you're apt to so you don't agree
with that. But you continue to discussion you hear other
viewpoints and you move it along rather than just say you're
wrong and it stops
you got any advice for the shows or anything of the show? You'd
like to see more of anything you'd like to see introduced?
Anything? Anyone? You think your show could be improved at the
moment?
No, not really, any real improvements, it's slowly
evolved. They originally started off the show with no jingles or
now a jingles is a major part of no agenda of what's your
favourite
jingle douchebag Of course. I'm a fan. If you see something, say
something and I was only walking through Melbourne about a month
ago that has been adopted over a period of time by the Melbourne
police as well. So every once in a while, you'll see a sticker
that says that on a Melbourne tram stop every once
in a blue moon. Here in the States. You hear it. It's just a
friendly reminder. If you see something, say something, you
know,
tell me what do you do with your night ring
hit people on the mouth? I did the candle wax seal a few times
90% of the time it says right on my desk. I've got every one of
the no agenda challenge coins. I wear it to any of my formal
meetings or business meetings work the other day to my
business Christmas party
for those people that might be out there thinking of donating
or thinking of becoming a night What do you think of the
advantages of doing that with no agenda?
It's a lot better than being a Boehner. People can say yeah,
this that or the other thing but when they hear your name on, you
know on the podcast, they know that you're backing it
